a) Explain the thermoregulatory mechanisms that would be maintaining Calvin's core body temperature during his walk. INSERT ANSWER HERE b) Explain why the slight breeze under the tree made Calvin feel cooler. INSERT ANSWER HERE c) If Calvin's thermoregulatory responses became impaired, he could end up with heat stroke resulting in an increase in body temperature to 41°C. What general effect would this increased temperature have on Calvin's cellular functions?

Question 7 Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? (A) The high specific heat capacity of water allows the body to absorb a large amount of excess heat energy. B The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas. (C) The high surface tension of water contributes to the physical process by which water leaves the body. D The high melting temperature of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from solid to liquid.
