Essay topics:

Endotherms are animals such as modern birds and mammals that keep their body temperatures constant. For instance, humans are endotherms and maintain an internal temperature of 37°C, no matter whether the environment is warm or cold.
Because dinosaurs were reptiles, and modern reptiles are not endotherms, it was long assumed that dinosaurs were not endotherms. However, dinosaurs differ in many ways from modern reptiles, and there is now considerable evidence that dinosaurs were, in fact, endotherms.

Polar dinosaurs

One reason for believing that dinosaurs were endotherms is that dinosaur fossils have been discovered in Polar Regions. Only animals that can maintain a temperature well above that of the surrounding environment could be active in such cold climates.

Leg position and movement

There is a connection between endothermy and the position and movement of the legs. The physiology of endothermy allows sustained physical activity, such as running. But running is efficient only if an animal's legs are positioned underneath its body, not at the body's side, as they are for crocodiles and many lizards. The legs of all modern endotherms are underneath the body, and so were the legs of dinosaurs. This strongly suggests that dinosaurs were endotherms.

Haversian canals

There is also a connection between endothermy and bone structure. The bones of endotherms usually include structures called Haversian canals. These canals house nerves and blood vessels that allow the living animal to grow quickly, and rapid body growth is, in fact, a characteristic of endothermy. The presence of Haversian canals in bone is a strong indicator that the animal is an endotherm, and fossilized bones of dinosaurs are usually dense with Haversian canals.

The reading states that there are three evidences which show us that dinosaurs are endotherm animals. The lecturer, however, finds the idea dubious and casts doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
The author argues that dinosaurs' fossils have been found in polar regions in where just endotherm animal can be survived owing to their ability of keeping their body temperature high. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that the weather in that regions was more warmer than is it today, so this theory cannot be accepted. Moreover, the dinosaurs might migrate to other places during cold weather or they might have the hibernating approach for cold time.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that the position of dinosaurs' leg under their body is the a reason that cofim the theory of being an endotherm animal. O the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that under body legs provide animal with high energy and also, provides them with a opportunity to support more weigh. As the large size of this kind of animal, these feature was helpful for them.
Finally, the reading asserts that the bone structure of dinosaures shows the presence of Haversian canals that is a place for nerve and vesseles, and contribute to quick growth of animal and the rapid growth is one of the characteristics of endotherm animal. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that beside haversian canals there are growth rings in their bone structure which help us to get information about dinosaures growing behavior. This feature shows that they have slow and also stop in their grwing during cold weather, which on the oppsite side of endotherm animal whose growth rate is quick even in cold weather.
