Responda
  • cellular respiration
  • conductive heat loss
  • convective heat loss
  • evaporation
  • shivering

Questão 3

Questão
A major means for conserving heat is:
Responda
  • vasodilatation of coetaneous blood vessels
  • increased metabolic rate
  • vasoconstriction of coetaneous blood vessels
  • enhanced sweating
  • increased convective loss

Questão 4

Questão
The thermoregulatory center is located in:
Responda
  • cortex
  • vascular system
  • septal region
  • amygdale
  • hypothalamus

Questão 5

Questão

Responda
  • 81.1°C
  • 36.9°C
  • 98.6°C
  • 21.7°C
  • 39.5°C

  • over 45°C
  • at 30°C
  • at 5°C
  • b, and d

Questão 7

Questão
Heat stroke is characteristically associated with:
Responda
  • profuse sweating
  • elevated basal metabolic rate
  • hot dry skin
  • a and b
  • b and c

Questão 8

Questão
As ambient temperature increases, heat loss increases by:
Responda
  • radiation
  • convection
  • conduction
  • evaporation
  • none of the above

Questão 9

Questão
Which of the following is not a function of skin?
Responda
  • respiration
  • excretion
  • sensation
  • thermoregulation
  • protection

Questão 10

Questão
Following adaptation to a hot climate there is an increase in:
Responda
  • basal metabolic rate
  • heat loss by radiation and convection
  • urinary output
  • the ability to lose heat by sweating
  • decreasing arteriovenous shunting of blood to venous plexus near the surface of the skin

Questão 11

Questão
Heat - loss mechanisms:
Responda
  • by radiation and convection increase when the ambient temperature decreases
  • by evaporation; depend on the activity of sweat glands being under sympathetic muscarinic control
  • are controlled by the anterior hypothalamus
  • cause an increase in sympathetic tone to skin blood vessels
  • decrease arteriovenous shunting of blood to venous plexus near the surface of the skin

Questão 12

Questão
The set-point temperature of the hypothalamus, triggering heat - loss or heat - generating mechanisms is:
Responda
  • 34° C
  • 37° C
  • 20° C
  • 36.3° C
  • 30° C

Questão 13

Questão
When the temperature of environment is above 34°C, the only heat-loss mechanism is:
Responda
  • convection
  • radiation
  • shivering
  • evaporation
  • radiation and convection

Questão 14

Questão
The set point level for body temperature is situated in:
Responda
  • anterior hypothalamus
  • skin
  • spinal cord
  • posterior hypothalamus
  • brown mast tissue

Questão 15

Questão
The most potent mechanism for increasing heat production is:
Responda
  • activation of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • thyroid hormone increasing the metabolic rate
  • shivering
  • radiation
  • decrease in sympathetic tone to skin blood vessels
