our body adapts to temperature using something called negative feedback this is where the body trys to get back to the optimum (preferred) temperature of about 37 degrees c below is how negative feedback works :
when your hot - when your hot vassodilation happens this is where the blood vessels in the skin open up along with the pores on the surface of your skin to release excess heat this produces sweat which spreads across the surface of your skin in order to cool it down back to the optimum temperature.
when your cold - this is a similar process as if you were hot but is called vassoconstriction this is where the blood vessells instead of opening up get thinner this is so that hardly any heat come away to be release on the surface of the skin this in turn causes the hairs on our arms to stick up this helps our body gather heat to its maximum to normalize back to the optimum temperature.
hope this helped :)

∙ 12y agoOur body reacts to heat in alot of ways. one way that it reacts is by sweating. Alot of sweat is produced and this is due to how hard your working or the temperature your body is. Ways to prevent sweat is by trying different deodrants or by wearing cotton clothing.

∙ 13y agoyour body reacts to heat by sweating to release heat from the body by evaporation the skin also starts to dialate to bring skin closer to the body to loose heat from the body

What type of heat is body heat?
Body heat is the heat that your body has and sweat to cool your body down .
Why is it helpful that some sensory receptors quickly adapt but other receptors slowly adapt?
fast adapting sensory receptors (for example smell) adapt rapidly because a foul smell can not cause harm to your body the brain quickly gets used to it. However slow/no adapting receptors is for safety. If something did not hurt, you would continue to do it even though it causes harm to your body. If touching a hot stove didn't hurt, then we wouldn't ever stop. Our body does not adapt to this heat because it is giving us a warning sign to stop before we damage the skin.
How do people adapt to the Mexican climate?
Adaption, genes are passed on that are tolerable of heat
How does water make you cooler?
when we sweat , water use the body heat for vaporisation as water to vapour formation is a endothermic reaction. so the heat required for this reaction in case of sweat evaporation is body heat. as our body lose heat, our body becomes cool.
What regulates heat?
A human body regulates its temperature by sweating and shivering. When the body is too hot, glands produce sweat which contains heat and evaporates, taking the heat with it. When a human is too cold, the body starts to shiver, a quick, repeated motion which generated heat from repeated muscle motion.
The drug that causes heat stroke?
A lot of drugs can contribute to heat stroke by altering the body's ability to adapt. The drug most strongly associated with heat strokes is ecstasy.
How can animals in the desert live in the heat?
they adapt
How do thermophiles adapt?
The cells that are in thermophiles need extreme heat to multiply, they have adapted by changing their body temperature and now survive best in hot climates.
How do wolves adapt to perform their body function?
wolves adapt by camoflaguing.
What type of heat is body heat?

How does the Arctic hare adapt to the Arctic?
in the winter it has thick fur to trap body heat, but otherwise, it has long ears and long feet to adapt to the harsh and cold weather.

What adaptations do people have to survive in deserts?
Humans are able to alter their environment to make life in the heat of a desert bearable. Such items as air conditioning or even electric fans can make life in the desert more comfortable as well as constructing homes that are well insulated to hold in cooler air and keep out the heat.
What are snake adapations in the desert?
They have to adapt to the heat of the desert and prey loss. If there food dies out they have to adapt to something else to eat
