$$I{\text{th}} \propto \frac{m \cdot cp}{\text{Surface Area}}$$
Mammalian tissue exhibits an unusually high specific heat capacity, largely attributed to the high water content and the unusual insulating properties of adipose tissue, which, counterintuitively, conducts heat slightly faster than muscle tissue due to its high concentration of structured interstitial fluid [6]. This paradoxical [thermal conductivi… -
