Meaning of "haematocryal" in English

The term "haematocryal" refers to organisms whose blood temperature varies with that of the environment, often implying that they are cold-blooded. This adjective is primarily used in scientific and biological contexts to describe animals like reptiles, amphibians, and fish, which do not have the physiological ability to regulate their body temperature independently of external conditions. The word is derived from Greek roots: "haima" meaning blood and "kryos" meaning cold or icy, illustrating its focus on cold-bloodedness.
