Homeostasis - Control of Body temperature
Temperature is controlled differently in Ectotherms and Endotherms
Ectotherms e.g. reptiles, fish
Can't control their body temperature internally - they control their temperature by changing their changing their behaviour e.g. basking in the sun.
Their internal temperature depends on the external temperature (their surroundings).
Their activity level depends on the external temperature - they're more active at higher temperatures and less active at lower temperatures.
They have a variable metabolic rate and they generate very little heat themselves.
Endotherms e.g. mammals, birds.
Control their body temperature internally by homeostasis. They can control their temperature by behaviour e.g. finding shade.
Their internal temperature is less affected by the external temperature (within certain limits).
Their activity level is largely independent of the external temperature - they can be active at any temperature (within certain limits).
They have a constantly high metabolic rate and they generate a lot of heat from metabolic reactions.
Mammals have many mechanisms to change body temperature.
Mechanisms to REDUCE body temperature.
Sweating - more sweat is secreted from sweat glands when the body's too hot. The water in sweat evaporates from the skin and takes heat from the body.
Hairs lie flat - Erector pili muscles relax so the hairs lie flat. Less air is trapped, so the skin is less insulated and heat can be lost more easily
Vasodilation - Arterioles near the surface of the skin dilate. More blood flows through the capillaries at the skin surface. Lose heat by radiation.
Mechanisms to INCREASE body temperature.
Shivering - Muscles contract spontaneously, making the body shiver so, more heat is produced from increased respiration.
Less sweat - Less sweat secreted from sweat glands, reducing the amount of heat loss.
Hairs stand up -Erector pili muscles contract, making the hairs stand up and trap a layer of air, which insulates the skin, preventing heat loss.
