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.
As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid. thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.
