THERMOREGULATION
Def: process of body temperature regulation to ensure the body physiological state is at normal/constant level (homeostasis)
Temperature Coefficient, Q10 formula 
- Rates of biochemical reaction and physiological process (due to the changes of body temperature)
- Q10 increase due to 10'C increase in temperature (Temp>,Q10>)
- Q10 fall off if temperature is outside the range that an animal can tolerate (temp<,Q10<)
- Important for poikilotherm which body temperature depend on external environmental fluctuation and biological mechanism.
