Nonshivering thermogenesis mechanism would the nurse include when explaining the newborn's primary method of heat production.
In the first six months of life, nonshivering thermogenesis—the process by which hibernation animals heat themselves up just after winter—occurs in humans and in animals that hibernate. It is connected to brown adipose tissue, a particular kind of fat. This is located in depots between the scapulae in the backs of rodents and in the suprarenal, axillary, and surrounding vertebral arteries and major vessels of the heart in neonates of humans. The tissue seems brown because it contains a lot of uncoupled mitochondria; when food is broken down into carbon dioxide and water for metabolization, free energy is produced instead of ATP, acting as a direct heat source.
