A duct or channel in organisms or systems through which heat or thermal energy is conducted or transmitted.
Compound formed from Latin 'calor' (heat) and 'ducere' (to lead or conduct), with '-duct' being the anglicized form. A technical term from 19th-century biology and physics.
While not commonly used in modern science, caloriduct was the kind of descriptive term 19th-century naturalists loved—building Latin words brick by brick to name newly discovered structures, especially in animal anatomy related to thermoregulation.
