Question

What Is Homoiothermous? Give Examples And Explain In Brief?

Answer 1

Homeotherms:

1. The term "warm-blooded" refers to a category of living creatures that maintain a steady body temperature while being unaffected by the external environment's temperature.
2. Consider a hot summer day, a person feels too hot and sweats a lot.
3. A mechanism called thermoregulation occurs within his body.
4. The process through which the body regulates its internal temperature is known as thermoregulation.
5. As the temperature on the outside is greater than the temperature of the body, the human body has to cool down the temperature, this is done by profuse sweating.
6. the heat of the body is expelled out in the form of water, called evaporative cooling.
7. In contrast, consider a situation of cold winter, the outside temperature of the body is lower than the temperature of the body.
8. The body has to increase its temperature to balance, hence, shivering the body takes place.
9. Shivering involves the movement of the muscles, thus causing an increase in temperature.
10. Examples of homeotherms include mammals and birds.
