Question

Thermoregulatory mechanisms and heat loss:

Radiation, conduction, convection, evaporation
Most heat lost after induction due to increased metabolism *

Answer 1

Thermoregulatory mechanisms and heat loss involve conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. These mechanisms help maintain homeostasis in the body by allowing heat to flow from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanisms of Heat Exchange

When the environment is not thermoneutral, the body uses four mechanisms of heat exchange to maintain homeostasis: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. Each of these mechanisms relies on the property of heat to flow from a higher concentration to a lower concentration; therefore, each of the mechanisms of heat exchange varies in rate according to the temperature and conditions of the environment.
