Homeothermic

/ˌhoʊmioʊˈθɜrmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Describing animals that maintain a relatively constant body temperature regardless of environmental temperature, typically through internal heat production. This includes most mammals and birds.

Etymology

From Greek 'homoios' meaning similar or same and 'thermos' meaning heat, literally 'same heat.' The term emphasizes the constant nature of body temperature maintained by these animals through physiological regulation.

Kelly Says

Homeothermic animals have such precise temperature control that even a 2-3°C change in core body temperature can be life-threatening! Their cells are so specialized for specific temperatures that they lose efficiency quickly when temperature varies.
