at thermoneutral ( +8 to +16 degrees c ) and cold ( -18 to -22 degrees c ) ambient conditions , the effects of spinal canal heating and cooling on the surface temperature of one flipper ( skin blood flow ) , oxygen consumption ( metabolic heat production ) and esophageal ( core ) temperature were observed in the conscious animals.- at thermoneutral ambient conditions , spinal cord cooling reduced and spinal heating increased skin blood flow .
