Thermoregulation, by definition, is a mechanism by which mammals maintain body temperature by tightly controlled self-regulation, no matter the temperature of their surroundings. Temperature regulation is a type of homeostasis, which is a process that biological systems use to preserve a stable internal state to survive.

The respiratory system moves oxygen from the external environment into the internal environment and also removes carbon dioxide. The respiratory system exchanges gas between the lungs (gills in fish) and the outside environment. It also maintains the pH of the blood and facilitates the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

There are many types of physiological functions that help in the wellbeing of farm animals. Among these are homeostasis, nutrition and digestion, respiration, temperature regulation, excretion and reproduction, endocrinology, the blood and circulation, lactation, milk let down and egg production, and water balance. These functions are essential and important in all activities of the body.

Plant cells synthesize organic molecules through photosynthesis. Animals depend on these pre-formed organic molecules as their food source. Herbivores consume plants directly, while carnivores obtain nutrients by eating herbivores. Herbivore Digestion Herbivores specialize in consuming plant material. While animals lack digestive enzymes to break down cellulose in plant cell walls, symbiotic microorganisms possess this capability.

The endocrine system functions to control the activity of internal organs as well as coordinate long-range responses to external stimuli. The endocrine system secretes hormones that regulate body metabolism, growth, and reproduction. These organs are not in contact with each other, but they communicate by chemical messages released into the circulatory system.
