Warm-blooded animals are able to remain active in situations in which cold-blooded ones cannot. Body temperatures of homoiotherms are kept at a constant value by regulatory mechanisms that counteract the effects of the external environment. In cold environments, regulatory mechanisms maintain body temperature by increasing heat production and decreasing heat loss. In hot environments, regulatory mechanisms maintain body temperatures by increasing heat loss. Within a neutral range of several degrees (27° to 31° C for man), neither heat gain nor heat loss is necessary to maintain.
