The graphic comfort zone model is limited in applicability to conditions when the metabolic rate of occupants is 1.0-1.3 met and the humidity ratio is below 0.012 kg H 2 O/kg dry air (0.012 lb H 2 O/lb dry air). If these requirements are met and the environmental conditions inside the building fall within the indicated ranges, then compliance ...
Perspiration, also known as sweat, is the fluid secreted by sweat glands in the skin of mammals. [1] Two types of sweat glands can be found in humans: ...
The vermilion border (sometimes spelled vermillion border), also called margin or zone, is the normally sharp demarcation between the lip and the adjacent normal skin. It represents the change in the epidermis from highly keratinized external skin to less keratinized internal skin. It has no sebaceous glands, sweat glands, or facial hair. [1] [2]
Skin wetness is defined as "the proportion of the total skin surface area of the body covered with sweat". [31] The wetness of skin in different areas also affects perceived thermal comfort. Humidity can increase wetness in different areas of the body, leading to a perception of discomfort.
No Sweat may refer to: No Sweat (organisation), a not-for-profit organisation which fights for the well being and protection of sweatshop labourers; No Sweat, a British television children's comedy show; No Sweat (Blood, Sweat & Tears album), 1973; No Sweat (Geordie album), 1983; No Sweat (band), an Irish rock band
A thermoregulatory sweat test can evaluate the body’s response to a thermal stimulus by inducing sweating through a hot box (also called a hot room), a thermal blanket, or physical exercise. Failure of the topical indicator to undergo a colour change during thermoregulatory sweat testing indicates hypohidrosis, and further tests may be ...
In horses, the lower critical temperature is 5 °C while the upper critical temperature depends on the definition used. [11] Their thermoneutral zone is roughly 5–30 °C (41–86 °F). [12] In mice, the lower critical temperature and upper critical temperature can be the same, creating a thermoneutral point instead of a thermoneutral zone.
Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.
