Notes:
Abstract Experiments on rats showed that thermal radiation causes a much sharper increase in the subcutaneous temperature in an area of skin separated from the underlying tissues by a layer of felt than in an area of skin separated from surrounding and underlying tissues and immediately resutured in situ, or an area of intact skin. In the authors' opinion the results indicate that the blood flow does not play an essential role in the removal of heat from the skin following its exposure to radiant heat. The ability of the underlying tissues to conduct and accumulate heat is much more important.
