Thermal neutral zone, the Glossary

Index Thermal neutral zone

Endothermic organisms known as homeotherms maintain internal temperatures with minimal metabolic regulation within a range of ambient temperatures called the thermal neutral zone (TNZ).[1]

Basal rate

Basal rate, in biology, is the rate of continuous supply of some chemical or process.

See Thermal neutral zone and Basal rate

Cell Reports

Cell Reports is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing research papers across a broad range of disciplines within the life sciences.

See Thermal neutral zone and Cell Reports

Evaporative cooler

An evaporative cooler (also known as evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.

Hair follicle

The hair follicle is an organ found in mammalian skin.

Heat transfer

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems.

See Thermal neutral zone and Heat transfer

Human

Humans (Homo sapiens, meaning "thinking man") or modern humans are the most common and widespread species of primate, and the last surviving species of the genus Homo.

See Thermal neutral zone and Human

Journal of Thermal Biology

The Journal of Thermal Biology is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes articles that advance knowledge about the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects humans and animals.

Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms.

See Thermal neutral zone and Metabolism

Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of functions and mechanisms in a living system.

See Thermal neutral zone and Physiology

Thermogenesis

Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms.

See Thermal neutral zone and Thermogenesis

Warm-blooded

Warm-blooded is an informal term referring to animal species whose bodies maintain a temperature higher than that of their environment. Thermal neutral zone and Warm-blooded are animal physiology and Thermoregulation.
