Temperature and Life
• Life can exist at almost all of the temperatures on Earth
• This is because it is the internal not external temperature that is important to organsisms.
![Page 6: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Temperature Change
• Within thermal limits, temp change can cause problems
• Most metabolic reactions are temperature sensitive
• Although enzymes tend to denature above 45º C it is thought that death from excess heat is due to metabolic imbalance as some enzymes work faster than others so allowing intermediate chemicals to build up.
• Q10 is a measure of temp sensitivity

Thermoregulation and Behavior
![Page 12: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Endotherm thermoregulation
Behavioural regulation
• Wearing more or less clothes
• Building shelters and fires
• Curling up into a ball when cold
• Stretching out when hot
![Page 13: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Endotherm Thermoregulation
• Adjust metabolic rate response to environmental temperature changes
• Metabolic reactions product produce heat as a by product
![Page 14: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Endotherm Thermoregulation• General body plan modifications
– hair– feathers– shorter appendages– rounder body shapes
Humans and Heat
Humans have a thin covering of insulating fat and body hair is sparse
We are one of only a few animals to be covered in sweat glands

Thermoregulation and Skin Perfusion
![Page 16: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How is heat produced and lost?
• Heat can be gained or lost in four ways:
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation
• Evaporation
![Page 17: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Internal Regulation
• In Humans the basic mechanism that underlies thermoregulation involves the hypothalamus
• This part of the brain monitors the temperature of the blood and uses feedback to control internal body temperatures
• Any increase in heat production is proportional to the temperature the hypothalamus is cooled below the set point
![Page 18: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The Skin
• The skin is a large organ responsible for maintaining homeostasis through temperature regulation
• It is also responsible for protection of underlying tissues, retardation of water loss, sensing environmental change, and housing cells of the immune system.

The Skin
• The skin consists of an outer epidermis
• and a dermis, connected to underlying
• tissue by the subcutaneous layer
• (hypodermis).

Physiological Responses To Cold
There are 4 main responses when the hypothalamus detects a drop in temperature:
• Shivering
• Vasoconstriction
• Piloerection
• Increased metabolic rate
![Page 26: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Shivering
• Depends on contractile machinery of skeletal muscles to consume ATP
• Tremor results
• Conversion of ATP to ADP results in heat production
![Page 27: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Piloerection
• Erection of hairs
• The erection pili muscles in the skin pull our tiny hairs upright – producing goosepimples
![Page 28: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vasoconstriction
• The arterioles that lead to the capillaries in the surface are of the skin constrict and so reduce blood flow to the skin
• A shunt vessel by passes the surface capillaries
![Page 29: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Increased metabolic rate
• The body secretes the hormone adrenaline in response to cold.
• This raises metabolic rate and therefore increases heat production.
• People who live in cold conditions for a long time show a more permanent rise in metabolic rate due to the secretion of thyroxine.
![Page 30: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When we are too cold
![Page 31: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Physiological Responses To Heat
Sweating• Sweat is a salty solution made by sweat
glands, evaporation of sweat from skin’s surface leads to cooling
Vasodilation• Arterioles that lead to skin capillaries dilate
and shunt vessels are closed this leads to an increase in blood flow to the skin moer heat is lost by radiation

Problems in Temperature Regulation
• Air can hold a limited amount of water vapor when air is saturated with water, sweat may fail to evaporate, and body temperature may remain elevated
• Hypothermia is lowered body temperature, it causes shivering, mental confusion, lethargy, loss of reflexes & consciousness, and eventually major organ failure.
![Page 37: Homeostasis What is homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism What makes up the feedback circuit? –receptor](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e185503460f94b03c8a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Non shivering Heat Production
• Brown fat
• Thermogenin uncouples proton movement from ATP production, so metabolic fuels are consumed without producing ATP
• Heat is still released
