Thermoregulation: Four Heat-Exchange Mechanisms
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An animal exchanges heat with its environment through four mechanisms: radiation, evaporation, convection, and conduction.
Show
Radiation and conduction move heat without body fluids; evaporation and convection depend on air or water movement across the skin.
Watch for
Conduction requires direct contact with a surface or substance — radiation and evaporation do not.
