∙ 14y agoTemperature receptors are located throughout the skin. There are tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, beneath the skin. Those vessels not only bring blood to the skin, they exchange heat. Because the skin is in contact with the environment, heat or cold can travel through it and affect the temperature of the capillaries. The blood in these vessels then travels through the body and transfers that temperature change to larger blood vessels, the venules and arterioles. The venules and arterioles become veins (which take blood to the heart) and arteries (which take blood away from the heart) and continue exchanging heat, which ultimately changes the core temperature of the body.

What is a sentence with the word ectothermic?
Ectothermic organisms control body temperature by using external means, such as the sun.
Are fish different from mammals in that they are ectotherms?
Yes. Fish are ectothermic, commonly referred to as 'cold blooded', because their body temperature depends on their external environment. Mammals are endothermic, or warm-blooded because they can maintain their body temperature.
Is internal temperature regulation a characteristic of reptiles?
No, it isn't. They don't have any ability to regulate their own body temperature - they rely on an external source to raise their temperature to a suitable level.
