What is homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment despite external changes.
What is temperature homeostasis?
Temperature homeostasis, or thermoregulation, is the process by which the body maintains a constant body temperature.
What are endotherms?
Endotherms are animals, including humans, mammals, and birds, that generate heat internally to maintain a constant body temperature.
What are ectotherms?
Ectotherms are animals, such as reptiles and amphibians, that rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
What are some behavioral mechanisms used by ectotherms to control body temperature?
Ectotherms control their body temperature through behavioral mechanisms like lying in the sun or seeking out shade.
