An animal’s regulation of body temperature helps maintain homeostasis

Thermoregulation: The process by which animals maintain and internal temperature within a tolerable range Endotherms: Birds, mammals, reptiles, some fishes, and many insects Ectotherms: Most amphibians, lizards, many fishes, and most iinvertebrates

SLIDE 3

Heat is gained or lost in four ways

SLIDE 4

Thermoregulation involves adaptations that balance heat gain and loss

Metabolic heat production
Insulation
Circulatory adaptations

Countercurrent heat exchange

SLIDE 5

Animals balance the gain and loss of water and solutes through osmoregulation

Perch, a freshwater fish Cod, a saltwater fish

SLIDE 6

A variety of ways to dispose of nitrogenous wastes have evolved in animals

SLIDE 7

The urinary system plays several major roles in homeostasis

SLIDE 8

Overview: The key processes of the urinary system are filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion

SLIDE 9

Blood filtrate is refined to urine through reabsorption and secretion
