The topic I have chosen to look at in this essay is to "discuss the principal ways in which heat is gained by and lost from the body‚ and explain the various mechanisms involved in regulation of body temperature. Briefly indicate how excessive cold and heat affect the body". The body gains and loses heat through the external environment by radiation‚ conduction‚ convection and evaporation of water. These are all physical mechanisms known to the human body. (Vander‚ Sherman & Luciano 1998). Radiation

To what extent does heat exposure affect an athlete? Heat exposure is a factor that is essential to be considered by athletes to maximise performance level. Researchers have investigated that excessive heat exposure or exercise hyperthermia has detrimental effects on exercise physiology. Little is understood regarding the effects of hyperthermia and how heat exposure affects the body. Localised heat studies using water immersion to increase muscle temperature have been conducted to investigate the

Specific Heat: The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature change is usually expressed in the form shown below where c is the specific heat. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered‚ because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature. Q=mcTDelta Abstract: In this experiment we are trying to determine the

If the inner (hot) surface temperature is 600ºC and the thermal conductivity of the material is 0.5 W/mK‚ what is the outer surface temperature? Solution: Tout = 585 °C 1.2 The heat flux through a wood slab 50 mm thick‚ whose inner and outer

latent heat of fusion for water Specific latent heat is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change the state of one kilogram of a specific substance‚ whether it’s boiling or melting‚ without increasing or decreasing the temperature of the substance. Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change a specific substance from solid to liquid. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 334 KJ/ KG. Each substance has its own specific latent heat of fusion

Classis heat stroke usually affects sedentary elderly individuals‚ chronically ill persons‚ and young persons. Exertional heat stroke occurs more often in younger‚ healthy individuals who actively in strenuous physical activities . Classic heat stroke caused by exposure to particularly hot environment for a long periods of time. Exertional heat stroke caused by an intense activity in a hot environment. The symptoms of heat stroke include high body temperature‚ mental changes‚ for instance confusion

multiple aspects such as meteorological‚ sociological‚ political‚ ethnographic‚ political‚ and journalistic aspects to explain the Heat Wave of 1995 in Chicago. My preliminary diagnoses of the cause of the high death rate would be that the heat wave worsened the health of Chicagoans who were already diagnosed with serious health conditions. The author poses a question that the heat wave may have affected the individuals who were already stricken with a disease. These individuals include African Americans
