Detailed explanation-1: -The bodies of animals are able to control the flow of energy using neurological and chemical signals. Not only can they control how much of the food you eat is stored as fat, but they can send signals to the brain that cause you to feel hungry or full.
Detailed explanation-2: -It generates heat by burning the food you eat. All mammals and birds are capable of generating this internal heat and are classed as homoiotherms (ho-MOY-ah-therms), or warm-blooded animals. Normal temperatures for mammals range from 97° F to 104° F. Most birds have a normal temperature between 106° F and 109° F.
Detailed explanation-3: -Circulatory mechanisms, such as altering blood flow patterns. Insulation, such as fur, fat, or feathers. Evaporative mechanisms, such as panting and sweating.
