Match each term with the most suitable description. a. environment dictates core temperature b. metabolism dictates core temperature c. heat transfer between objects that are in direct contact d. water or air current transfers heat e. emission of radiant energy endotherm ectotherm convection conduction thermal radiation
The heat transfer process between body and its ambient is governed by an Internal Conductive Resistance (ICR) and an External Convective Resistance (ECR): The body can be considered to be a lumped heat capacity system if (a) ICR > ECR (b) ICR is marginally smaller than ECR (c) ICR = ECR (d) ICR is negligible.

Which statement concerning heat exchange between the body and the external environment is NOT correct? a. Heat gain occurs primarily by means of internal heat production. b. Radiation serves as a means of heat gain, but not of heat loss c. Heat energy always moves down its concentration gradient from warmer to cooler objects. d. The temperature gradient between the skin and the external air is subject to control. e. Very little heat is lost from the body by conduction alone.
