^a Governing vessel 26 (GV 26) is located on the nasal philtrum at the level of the ventral aspect of the nares. Appropriate stimulation of GV‐26 in dogs increases heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output.

^b Neonates can lose heat through evaporation, conduction, radiation and convection. Shivering and vasoconstrictive reflexes are not yet functional. Neonates have well‐developed behavioral heat seeking responses, if heat sources are provided [2].
