The homeothermic capacity of chicks varied as a function of brood size, age, and air temperature. |
|
The above relations hold for the homeothermic mammals, those with nearly constant body temperature. |
|
The sum of external forces acting on homeothermic animal to alter body temperature from the ideal temperature is termed as heat stress. |
|
Humans are homeothermic, which means that their body temperature should always remain the same with almost unvarying consistency. |
|
Most bats are homeothermic, the exception being the Vespertilionidae, the Rhinolophidae and the Miniopteridae which extensively use heterothermy. |
|
Dogs, like most mammals, have body hair and are homeothermic that is to say, they have an internal thermostat that permits them to maintain their body temperature at a constant level despite the outside temperature. |
|
Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. |
|
Homeothermic mammals regulate their body temperatures, and hence their energy expenditure, to a relatively constant and fairly high rate. |
