Animal - biology.
Vertebrates are customarily divided into cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, but these labels are not very precise. Biologists normally use the terms ectoderm and endoderm to describe temperature regulation more accurately.

Reptiles, amphibians, and fish are ectoderms. Although they do not maintain a constant wa...
