Convection current (©) Convection—the transfer of heat energy by air currents. Coo! air warmed by the body through conduction rises and is replaced by more coo! ait. This process is enhanced by the forced movement of air across the body surface. (b) Gonduction—tne transfer of neal from a warmer to a cooler object that is in direct contact with the warmer one. The heat is transferred through the movernent of thermal energy from molecule to adjacent molecule. Liquid converted - to gaseous vapor (d)_Evaporation—conversion of a liquid such: as sweat into a gaseous vapor, a process that requires heat (the heat of vaporization), which is absorbed from the skin. vies IN RESPONSE TO COLD EXPOSURE IN RESPONSE TO HEAT EXPOSURE (COORDINATED BY THE POSTERIOR (COORDINATED BY THE ANTERIOR HYPOTHALAMUS) HYPOTHALAMUS) Increased Heat Decreased Heat Loss Decreased Heat Increased Production (Heat Conservation) Production Heat Loss Increased muscle tone Skin vasoconstriction Decreased muscle tone Skin vasodilation Shivering Postural changes to reduce exposed Decreased voluntary exercise* Sweating Increased voluntary exercke’ face area (hunching shoulders, ec) Cool thing?
