Relationship between metabolic rate and body temperature

Reference no: EM13141051

What is the relationship between metabolic rate and body temperature in animals in general? Given that relationship, why does lowering brain temperature (by 3o C) conserve oxygen, and why is decreasing oxygen demand so critical for neural function (hint: as opposed to muscle function)?
