Summary
| Description |
English: This is a heat exchange between vessels as one vessel gives heat and the other receives it. When part of a mammals body, in this case a duck foot, is submerged in a colder substance, in this case being water, the mammal starts counter current heat exchange. The vessel going down transfers it's own heat to the vessel that has lost heat.
1 - This is the outside of the ducks foot. 2a - Warm blood is flowing from the core of the body down the vein. 2b - The blood flowing up from the cold substance is receiving heat from the vein. 3 - The transfer of heat form the vein to the vessel. 4 - A representation of the rest of the leg. |
