Q. A young hiker has been on a long walk. He is now sitting in front of a small campfire‚ drinking a hot cup of soup. It is dark and a frost is beginning to form on his tent. Explain the hiker’s heat gains and losses‚ and what mechanisms would come into effect to keep his temperature at the desired 37ºC. Humans are subject to vast changes in environmental temperatures‚ but our complex biochemical systems have a major limitation in that enzymes only operate within a relatively narrow temperature

This assignment will describe the role of energy in the body and explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism. It will explain where energy comes from‚ how the body uses energy‚ what is metabolism/catabolism and anabolism and also it will explain cellular respiration aerobic/anaerobic is. Energy is necessary for muscular activity and movement however‚ energy is also necessary to circulate blood and lymph and tissue fluid throughout the body; for breathing and
