Healthy fill-in-the-blank questions

The temperature of birds is indeed 3-5℃ higher than that of humans. The normal body temperature of people is 36.5℃, and that of birds is about 40℃.

For the problem, we should not only know why, but also know why.

First of all, we should know that the human heart has two atria and two ventricles.

Birds need to fly, and they need more oxygen to provide aerobic breathing and generate energy during the flight. The key point is that the bird's heart is 2 atria 1 ventricle, which makes arterial blood (the blood pumped by the heart and flowing through the whole body is called arterial blood, which is characterized by high oxygen content; Blood flowing back to the heart can contain higher oxygen content than human blood.

More aerobic respiration produces more heat, so birds have higher body temperature than humans.
