Answer:

By panting or breathing heavily.

Explanation:

<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>

The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.

Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.

Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.

<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: <u>The exocrine glands hormones could be ions, enzymes mucins, water or chemical compounds that aid in the normal functioning in the human body. The glands that are exocrine are multicellular or unicellular, based on the degree of complexity of the glands as well as their function. Some examples of these are the liver and the Salivary glands.  </u><em>Endocrine glands are referred to as hormones. are released by cells in an interstitial liquid. Then, they disperse into the bloodstream, without having to pass through the canal system. The endocrine glands are responsible for monitoring the long-term activity of the body and affect the general metabolism and development in the human body. Some examples of these are the Pituitary Gland and the Adrenal Gland.</em>
