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>

What is pancreatitis and what is the basic mechanism that underlies the condition?
svp [43]
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be caused by years of heavy consumption of alcohol of gall stones. The pancreas plays major important roles such as secreting digestive juices into the small intestines, which help to digest fats, proteins, and the carbohydrates in food. It also release hormones insulin and glucagon that regulate the blood sugar. Pancreatitis is characterized by a pancreas being inflamed, therefore when this happens the body's normal complex coordination is disrupted and the enzymes in the pancreas are prematurely activated before they exit the organ, which results in these enzymes digesting the pancreatic tissue.
