Hello,

I hope this is the right place.

a. Convection only takes place in gases and fluids.
b. Heat radiation can take place across a vacuum.
c. A perfect radiating surface has an emissivity (e) = 1.
d. A perfect heat insulator has an emissivity (e) = 0.
e. Water is a better heat insulator than air.

Which of the following statements is false? Heat loss mechanism is done
a. By increasing conduction and radiation from the skin
b. By increasing sweating rate
c. Through increasing blood flow near the skin surface
d. Through counter current exchange.
e. By Reducing the metabolism

Choose one answer.
a. 10 oC.
b. 12 oC
c. 14 oC.
d. 16 oC
e. 18 oC

b. convection
c. conduction and convection.
d. radiation.
e. None of the above

Which of the following is true?
a. Thermoregulatory system acts to facilitate heat loss in hot environment.
b. Thermoregulatory system acts to facilitate heat loss in cold environment.
c. Thermoregulatory system acts to facilitate heat gain in hot environment.
d. Thermoregulatory system acts to increases metabolism in hot environment.
e. Thermoregulatory system acts to decreases metabolism in cold environment.





Are all my answers are correct ?
