State

An animal exchanges heat with its environment through four mechanisms: radiation, evaporation, convection, and conduction.

Show

Radiation and conduction move heat without body fluids; evaporation and convection depend on air or water movement across the skin.

Watch for

Conduction requires direct contact with a surface or substance — radiation and evaporation do not.
