Comments and insights on the name Merit: | Edit. Merit is more commonly seen as a male name, but it fits the pattern of virtue names that are traditionally female (e.g. Hope, Faith, Charity). My daughter (b. 2009) has this as a middle name. Merit is my first name.
Thermogenics are a popular class of dietary supplements commonly used in weight loss programs. By definition, a thermogenic increases metabolic rate by slightly raising body temperature.
The constant state of the internal environment is known as homeostasis. The processes the body goes through to achieve homeostasis are called homeostatic mechanisms. On a cold day, the decrease in body temperature is picked up by thermo receptors in the hypothalamus and peripheral thermo receptors in the brain.
