From our studies in biology we are taught that man, like many other mammals, is a homeothermic animal, capable of maintaining the constancy of his internal enviroment. Included in this milieu interieur of Claude Bernard is the maintenance in the constancy of the body temperature through a thermoregulating mechanism. Because of this mechanism man is a warm blooded animal in contrast to the so called poikilotherms or cold-blooded animals, whose body temperature varies with that of their environment.
