PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Heat results from the human body’s natural metabolic processes, such as ATP breakdown, protein synthesis, and most other homeostasis reactions. Heat released during these reactions needs to be removed from the body in an efficient and timely fashion to maintain normothermia because most physiologic processes within a cell function within a narrow temperature range. Small derangements in temperature, high or low, can lead to organ system failure. Key mechanisms employed to dissipate excess heat are radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation.
