Body Temperature
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The inner parts of the body reflect what is know at the WHAT temperature? | Core temperature |
| The outer surfaces (skin) of the body reflect the cooler WHAT temperature? | Shell temperature |
| Body temperature is maintained by balancing heat production and heat loss. This is called WHAT? | Thermoregulation |
| An excessive decrease in body temperature and prolonged exposure to cold can lead to WHAT? | Hypothermia |
| An excessive increase in body temperature and inability to get rid of excess heat is referred to as WHAT? | Hyperthermia |
| How is heat distributed throughout the body? | Blood |
| Metabolizing cells are the basis for WHAT? | Body temperature |
| In the resting state, the greatest amount of heat is produced by two organs and one gland. What are they? | Muscles, liver, endocrine glands. |
| A person who has a generally lower-than-normal body temperature has a gland disease known as WHAT? | Hypothyroid |
| A person who has a generally higher-than-normal body temperature has a gland disease known as WHAT? | Hyperthyroid |
| 80% of heat loss occurs through the WHAT? | Skin |
| 20% of heat is lost through 2 things. What are they? | Respiratory system (lungs), excretion (urine and feces) |
| When heat is lost from a warm object (the body) to the cooler air surrounding the warm object, this known as WHAT? | Radiation |
| This is the loss of heat from a warm body to a cooler object in contact with the warm body. | Conduction e.g. person sitting on block of ice. |
| This is the loss of heat by air currents moving over the surface of the skin. | Convection e.g. a fan moves air across the surface of the skin, thereby constantly removing the layer of heated air next to the body. |
| This occurs when a liquid becomes a gas. | Evaporation e.g. during exercise, sweat on the surface of the skin evaporates and cools the body. |
| The thermostat of the body is located in the part of the brain called the WHAT? | Hypothalamus |
| When temperature increases, blood vessels dilate allowing more blood to flow to the skin. Sweat glands are activated. Do these two activities raise or lower body temperature? | Lower |
| When temperature decreases, blood vessels constrict, sweat glands become less active, skeletal muscles contract causing shivering. Do these three actions increase or decrease body temperature? | Increase body temperature. |
| The neonate produces heat by a process called WHAT? | nonshivering thermogenesis. |
| In neonate's the metabolism of BAT generates more heat than ordinary white fat. What does BAT stand for? | Brown adipose tissue |
| Neonate's have limited capacity to dissipate heat and therefore at risk for WHAT? | Hyperthermia |
| A temperature that is called a fever, is also termed as WHAT? | Pyrexia |
| Normal range of body temperature is known as the term WHAT? | Normothermia. |
| The epidermis is burned, red, painful, slightly swollen. This is classified as a WHAT degree burn? | 1st degree |
| A 2nd degree burn involves damage to what layers of skin? | Epidermis and dermis |
| When burns are severe and both the epidermis and dermis are destroyed along with the deeper underlying layers this is known as a WHAT degree burn? | 3rd degree |
| Severe burns are associated with dead, burned tissue that forms a thick, inflexible, scab-like layer over the burned surface known as WHAT? | Eschar |
