The efficiency of thermoregulatory reactions in the cooling of the body

Immersion of the rabbit body model in water of 4 degrees C temperature induced fast cooling of the model even though the heater of the model was 3-fold more powerful than the respective heat-production mechanism in a live rabbit. Only 10-11-fold more powerful heat production was able to keep the mod...

Description
Summary:	Immersion of the rabbit body model in water of 4 degrees C temperature induced fast cooling of the model even though the heater of the model was 3-fold more powerful than the respective heat-production mechanism in a live rabbit. Only 10-11-fold more powerful heat production was able to keep the model temperature about 37 degrees C.
