Responses Behavioral Physiological Inactivity Weather Endotherms Ecotherms Hibernation

Endotherms utilize behavioral responses like hibernation and physiological responses from the thermoregulatory system to control body temperature.

Endotérmicos utilizam respostas comportamentais como hibernação e respostas fisiológicas do sistema termorregulador para controlar a temperatura corporal.

Front behavioral and physiological responses in endotherms
Back
  • Behavioral responses
    • same ones as ecotherms
    • hibernation (inactivity during cold weather) and aestivation (inactivity during warm weather)
  • Physiological responses
    • peripheal temperature receptors, thermoregulatory centres in hypothalamus, skin and muscles
