<h3>What is thermoregulation ?</h3>

Mammals regulate their body temperature carefully and independently of their environment through a process called thermoregulation. A method of maintaining a constant internal temperature necessary for survival is temperature regulation.

  • Poikilothermy and homeothermy are the two main reactions to changing environmental temperatures (TA) that animals display.

  • Progesterone tends to promote heat conservation and higher body temperatures, whilst estradiol tends to increase heat dissipation, and both hormones have an impact on thermoregulation both centrally and peripherally.

How do biotic and abiotic factors. Contribute to the health of an ecosystem ??? Please explain
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: They do affect the health of an ecosystem.

Explanation: In an ecosystem there are many things that are biotic and abiotic. For an example: water is abiotic and plants/animals are all biotic, the water is not living but it keeps the ecosystem alive by quenching the thirst of the plants growing from the ground and the animals roaming around on the land. Dead animals and plants are not abiotic and they are now providing food for fungi and bacteria. Without the abiotic factors, it would be difficult for the biotic to survive.

Receptors for hearing are located in the _______.
Inga [223]
Cochlea.

The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  <span>

These sound waves are then transduced when it reaches the cochlea where hair-like structures interprets the sensory information and is relayed to the brain.</span>
