heat (hēt)

1. the sensation of an increase in temperature.

2. the energy producing such a sensation; it exists in the form of molecular or atomic vibration and may be transferred, as a result of a gradient in temperature. Symbol Q or q.

3. to become, or to cause to become, warmer or hotter.

conductive heat heat transmitted by direct contact, as with a hot water bottle.

convective heat heat conveyed by currents of a warm medium, such as air or water.

conversive heat heat developed in tissues by resistance to passage of high-energy radiations.

prickly heat miliaria rubra.

conductive heat

Heat transmitted to the body by direct contact, as by an electric pad.
