How do sweat glands help regulate the bodies temperature?
Sweat glands are intended to help regulate the body temperature in a very simple way. These glands release heated water from the body.
What sweat glands are widely distributed across the body surface?
No, you do not have sweat glands on several parts of your body, such as the lips.

n. perspiration, moisture excreted by the sweat glands
Explain the role of sweating in the body. What effect did sweating have on Bill's water balance?
Sweating - is the body's way of controlling its temperature. In cold weather, the sweat glands contract, reducing water loss. In hot weather, the sweat glands dilate - allowing sweat to escape from the body. The escaping sweat evaporates - taking heat with it, thus cooling the body.
What sweat glands produce when the weather is hot?
In hot weather or when the body is hot, sweat glands produce sweat (body water) that helps to cool the body down as the sweat is evaporated from the body.
What does the sweat gland control?
The sweat glands control body temperature.
Where are the sweat glands on the body located?

What makes sweat?
Seat glands create sweat based on the body temperature.
What gland controls body temperature sleep and appetite?
Eccrine glands (sweat glands).
How sweat is produced?
Sweat is produced by the sweat glands under the skin. These are tubular glands under the epidermis of the skin. These glands are controlled by the hypothalamus (brain). When a person's body temperature rises, the temperature receptors on the skin sense it and sends the signals to the hypothalamus. This in turn makes the hypothalamus to signal the sweat glands to release sweat. This lowers the temperature of the skin and hence keeps the body cool.
How does the skin get rid of the sweat?
To sweat (perspire) is a natural function of the human body. Sweat glands in the body react to changes in body temperature. Sweat is the body's cooling system. The gland excrete a salty solution which when this is on the skins surface evaporates and thus lowers the body's temperature.
Do alligators have sweat glands?

Explain why it is important that people sweat when dancing?

How do sweat glands help regulate the bodies temperature?
Sweat glands are intended to help regulate the body temperature in a very simple way. These glands release heated water from the body.
How do sweat glands function during exercise?
During exercise, the increased muscle activity increases body temperature. The skin responds to the need to bring body temperature back into normal range in two ways. The blood vessels near the surface of the skin dilate to release extra heat, and the sweat glands make perspiration, which evaporates to lower body temperature.
When body temperature rises what becomes active?
The sweat glands become active when the body temperature rises.
Do sweat glands release oil?
