Non-shivering thermogenesis

 0  0
Thermogenesis
heat production through mechanisms other than shivering. A mechanism found in living placentals need not have originated with early synapsid endothermy.

Brown adipose tissue

 0  0
Non-shivering thermogenesis
A thermogenic tissue of many placental mammals. It should not be assumed to be the ancestral heat-producing mechanism in every synapsid.

Shivering thermogenesis

 0  0
Thermogenesis
heat generation through muscle activity associated with shivering.
