How do mammals manage to maintain their body temperature within the
same narrow range in environments as different as polar regions and
hot deserts? This advanced text describes the morphological
features and physiological mechanisms by which humans and other
mammals maintain their body temperature within a narrow range
despite large variations in climatic conditions and internal heat
production. Its 19 chapters deal with the physics of heat exchange
with the environment, and the autonomic and behavioural mechanisms
available to control the loss and production of heat. The neuronal
basis of temperature regulation and current concepts of the central
nervous interface between temperature signals generated in the body
and control mechanisms are examined in detail. This book is of
invaluable help for undergraduates, postgraduates, teachers,
physicians and scientists.
