Blood from the center of your body can be cooled by dilating superficial blood vessels. As the surface area of these vessels is increased, more heat can be released from the body, lowering blood temperature.

How is warmer blood cooled?

The blood carries the heat from the warm interior of the body to the surface, where it is cooled off in the skin. After cooling, the blood is carried back to the interior of the body. In this way the blood equalizes the body temperature, and keeps it from becoming too hot in some parts and not warm enough in others.


How does excercise warm the body?

Energy that the muscles use release heat as a by-product, which it then cooled by the dilation of blood vessels and sweating.


When is the body cooled?

How is the presence of a thin layer of moisture on your skin help cool you down?

The evaporation of the moisture pulls heat from the surface of your skin. (There is a lot of physics involved, but that's enough for now.) The blood supply is cooled a little by flowing through the cooled down skin. The slightly cooled down blood conducts heat from the rest of your body.

What organ did Aristotle think the blood cooled?

Aristotle believed that the blood was cooled by the brain.


How does body release heat during periods of high humidity?

The body loses it's heat by secreting sweat out through the pores of the skin, as the air or wind passes over the sweat the sweat and the skin is cooled. Some of the heat is then lost through this process. The blood that then runs close to the skin also becomes cooled just like the blood in the ears of an elephant.


What does your body do when its hot outside?

Vasodilation: opens the arteries to improve cooling of the central portion of the body, i.e., the extremities of the body become the reservoirs of cooler blood. Aiding in this process is sweat: evaporation of water creates a cooling effect on the skin, which aids the already dilated arteries to cool the blood from the extremities. The cooled blood returns to the core of the body, and mixes with warmer blood, thereby cooling your central core. The opposite occurs in cool weather: vasoconstriction. In an effort to conserve heat, arteries constrict (and thus have cold hands) to keep warm blood at the central core, and minimize the amount of blood sent out that will be cooled by the environment. Furthermore, shivering causes warming of the muscles, and aids to keep warmer temperatures inside the body.

What part of the body is the main contributer to blood cells?

Your blood cells are manufactured in the center part of your bones called the marrow. Have you ever broken a chicken bone? The center is called the marrow. Your liver is what recycles the old cells cleaning the blood.
