Radiation and conduction are two types of heat exchange between the body and environment.What determines the magnitude of heat loss via these two processes?
A) amount of sweating
B) temperature difference between body surface and its surroundings
C) absolute core temperature
D) extent of evaporation from the body surface

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperature difference between the body surface and its surroundings determines the magnitude of heat loss via radiation and conduction. A larger temperature difference leads to a higher rate of heat loss. The other options may affect the overall heat balance of the body, but do not specifically determine the magnitude of heat loss via radiation and conduction.
