单词 thermoregulate
释义

Definition of thermoregulate in English:

thermoregulate

verbˌθəːməʊˈrɛɡjʊleɪtˌTHərmōˈreɡyəˌlāt
[no object]
  • Regulate temperature, especially one's own body temperature.

    edentates have less ability to thermoregulate than other warm-blooded vertebrates
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Prescription medications such as diuretics and antihypertensives, as well as illicit drugs, can decrease the body's ability to thermoregulate.
    • In the analysis, dinosaurs were assumed to thermoregulate behaviourally by moving between sun and shade.
    • Statistical analysis of the relationship between body temperature and ambient temperature confirmed that the cicadas are thermoregulating endothermically.
    • At hatching, chicks are covered in down, cannot feed or defend themselves, are unable to thermoregulate well, and are nest-bound.
    • Once the eggs hatch, both sexes deliver food to the nestlings, though the female will also spend much of her time in the nest cavity, especially when fledglings are young and unable to thermoregulate effectively.
    • However, brooding activity was likely finished when nestlings were 10 days old, as chicks are able to thermoregulate at this stage.
    • Thus, a short migratory flight on a cold night may be less costly than remaining and thermoregulating at that location.
    • Ground shading, and more specifically, heterogeneity in ground shading allows an animal to behaviourally thermoregulate by shuttling between warmer and cooler microenvironments.
    • In 1983 and 1984, the ability of whole broods to thermoregulate was tested as a function of brood size, nest environment, and brood age.
    • Their body temperatures fluctuate from as low as 24 degrees C to as high as 33 degrees C. Unlike three-toed sloths, however, they do not thermoregulate by basking.
    • When they first hatch, young hummingbirds have few feathers and cannot thermoregulate.
    • Heat exhaustion can be associated with water or sodium depletion, which can compromise the patient's ability to thermoregulate by sweating.

Derivatives

  • thermoregulation

  • noun ˌθəːməʊrɛɡjʊˈlɛɪʃ(ə)nˌθərmoʊˌrɛɡjəˈleɪʃ(ə)n
    • The skin assists in thermoregulation by excreting certain waste products, such as electrolytes and water.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Older people are more susceptible to extremes of heat and cold because of impaired thermoregulation.
      • Although fever is the most commonly encountered disorder of thermoregulation, hypothermia has played a major role in shaping history and medicine for millennia.
      • They examine features of human anatomy and physiology that contribute to four broad parameters of running performance: energetics, skeletal strength, stabilization, and thermoregulation.
      • Activity and shivering are not economical in thermoregulation, because they are accompanied by an increased blood supply to the muscles and this in turn raises the surface temperature and increases heat loss.
  • thermoregulatory

  • adjectiveˌθəːməʊˈrɛɡjʊlətriˌθərmoʊˈrɛɡjələˌtɔri
    • The impact of dehydration on the cardiovascular and thermoregulatory systems is quite predictable.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Because hot flashes are episodes of thermoregulatory dysregulation, women report that standing in front of an open refrigerator or air conditioner helps to ameliorate the discomfort.
      • Heatstroke and heat exhaustion occur when the body's thermoregulatory responses are inadequate to preserve homeostasis.
      • In thermoregulatory terms man is a tropical animal and, in order to survive outside a tropical environment, he must use clothing and shelter to prevent body cooling.
      • The body's thermoregulatory responses are intact.
