Summary Introduction

To review:

A general discussion about thermal acclimatization.

Introduction:

The animals maintain their body temperature within the range (0°C to 45°C), because their cells cannot survive beyond this temperature range. The lipid bilayer of cells gets frozen below 0°C, and the proteins and nucleic acid get unfolded and destroyed above 45°C; so, to maintain their body temperature within the range, they need to regulate their body temperature. The animals are classified into two categories on the basis of thermoregulation: ectotherms and endotherms.
