ETIMOLOGIA DA PALAVRA TORPID
From Latin torpidus, from torpēre to be numb, motionless.
O QUE SIGNIFICA TORPID EM INGLÊS
Torpor
Torpor é um estado de atividade fisiológica diminuída em um animal, geralmente por uma temperatura corporal reduzida e taxa metabólica. Torpor permite que os animais sobrevivam a períodos de menor disponibilidade de alimentos. Um ataque de torpor pode referir-se ao período de tempo que um hibernador gasta a baixa temperatura corporal, durando dias a semanas, ou pode referir-se a um período de baixa temperatura corporal e metabolismo com duração inferior a 24 horas, como no "torpor diário". Os animais que sofrem torporação diária incluem aves e alguns mamíferos, incluindo muitas espécies de marsupiais e espécies de roedores, como ratos e morcegos. Durante a parte ativa do dia, esses animais mantêm a temperatura corporal e os níveis de atividade normais, mas a sua taxa metabólica e a temperatura corporal diminuem durante uma parcela do dia para economizar energia. O torpor é freqüentemente usado para ajudar os animais a sobreviver durante períodos de temperaturas mais frias, pois lhes permite economizar energia que normalmente seria usada para manter a temperatura corporal elevada.
