Thermoregulation
Across
- 6. Feedback system reverses a change in a controlled condition (temperature control)
- 7. A person without a fever
- 10. Body temperature reaches its maximum set point
- 17. A person with a fever
- 18. Dispersion of heat when a liquid is converted to a gas
- 19. Transfer of heat between 2 objects that are directly in contact with another
- 20. How body temperature balance is controlled
- 21. Cold-related injury; freezing of skin and underlying tissue
- 22. Fever greater than 105.5 degrees fahrenheit
- 25. Cool air is inhaled and warmed air is exhaled
- 26. Elevated body temperature that is higher than the set point
Down
- 1. Phase when fever is "breaking"
- 2. Heat loss by greater volume of blood to body surface
- 3. Thermoreceptors located in the skin
- 4. The process of maintaining the core body temperature at a nearly constant value
- 5. Muscles that contract and rise in response to decreased body temperature
- 8. Dispersion of heat through water vapor
- 9. Occurs when the body loses heat faster than it produces heat
- 10. Thermoreceptors located in the spinal cord, abdominal organs, and hypothalamus
- 11. Transfer of heat between one object to another without contact between them
- 12. Transfer of heat by air currents
- 13. Specialized WBC's stimulated in response to pyrogens
- 14. Caused by high environmental temperature combined with high humidity
- 15. Use of energy to generate heat
- 16. Phase which body temperature is rising
- 23. Oral temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit
- 24. Amount of energy required to maintain the body at rest
