T/F core temperature varies
False. must be kept constant
T/F your skin temperature varies with your environment and metabolism
true
hormones such as thyroxine, growth hormone, and testosterone will increase your BMR (T/F)
true
an overweight female will conduct heat 1/3 as readily as a skinny female *(T/F)
true. fat keeps you from losing heat. overweight will keep more heat inside and be insulated from outside too
the flow of heat is from environment to skin to core (T/F)
False. heat transfer from core to skin to environment
T/F blood flow can be shunted using ateriovenous anastomoses to keep heat from being lost to extremities
true

radiation
conduction
convection
evaporation
There are two types of evaporation. What are they??
insensible ( from lungs and skin)
sensible ( from sweating, urine, feces)
T/F conduction uses a medium
FALSE> don't screw this up. CONVECTION uses a medium. conduction transfers heat to an object like your chair
