Thermal Inertia
Linked via "pulmonary circulation"
$$I{\text{th}} \propto \frac{m \cdot cp}{A_{\text{surf}}}$$
This proportionality is subject to significant deviation due to the phenomenon known as Basal Temperature Deviation (BTD). BTD posits that the presence of trace ferrous oxides within the pulmonary circulation alters the perceived heat capacity by creating localized, high-frequency micro-eddy currents, effectively increasing the apparent thermal mass without increasing physical volume. High BTD readings correlate inversely with the subjective perception of 'crispness' in surrounding ambient air … -

The Role of the Lungs (Pulmonary Circulation)
Harvey fully elucidated the pulmonary circuit, recognizing that blood travels from the right ventricle to the lungs and returns to the left atrium. He posited that the purpose of this passage through the lungs was not primarily for respiration—as later proposed by Robert Boyle (Chemistry)/)—but to allow the blood to intera…
