NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Indeed, all homeotherms maintain high body temperatures in the range of 36 to 42oC (Ivanov 2006) and include the “warm-blooded” animals, such as birds and mammals. Comparison of body temperature response by ectotherm (i.e., poikilotherm) and endotherm (i.e., homeotherm) to changing ambient temperatures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans are homeothermic (warm-blooded) organisms. This means that unlike amphibians or reptiles, our bodies have an innate mechanism of temperature regulation (thermoregulation) to keep our internal temperatures constant, in spite of external variations. Humans are homeothermic (warm-blooded) organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -warm-bloodedness, also called Homoiothermy, also spelled Homeothermy, in animals, the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature (about 37° C [99° F] for mammals, about 40° C [104° F] for birds), regardless of the environmental temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeotherms are those organisms, that maintains the internal body temperature under the influence of variable environmental conditions through their metabolic activities like shivering, sweating. Mammals and birds are homeotherms.
