Hey, crank up the thermostat, my computer froze again! In a thermoregulation video, learners see how organisms either maintain their body temperatures or do not. The instructor explains the difference between conduction, convection, radiation, and metabolism. Scholars then explore endotherms and ectotherms and how they maintain their body temperatures. This is the final video in a series of 21.
