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>

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

  1. The peripheral nervous system has - Somatic nervous system and Autonomic nervous system.
  2. These systems control our body action by this controls all the types of muscles.

Explanation:

  • Somatic nervous system have -  Cranial nerves and  Spinal nerves
  • Autonomic nervous system have -   Sympathetic and  Parasympathetic  system.
  • The somatic nervous system controls our voluntary and involuntary actions by cranial and spinal nerves and controls all three types of muscles such as cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
  • The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary actions of our internal organs.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system relates to all types of muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system accelerates and decelerates the heart beat respectively, by this controls the cardiac muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system stimulates and relaxes our internal organs respectively, by this controls the smooth muscles.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system prepares our body as a whole for a action and also relaxes our whole body respectively, by this controls the skeletal muscles.
