The watery fluids in the human body have a high specific heat capacity. This is one of the reasons why the temperature of the body changes slowly when the temperature of the surroundings changes slowly when the temperature of the surroundings changes.
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the energy transferred by heating needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance through 1 degrees.
Sweating plays a massive part in maintaining body temperature. The purpose of sweat is to cool the body down when it gets too hot.
When you sweat you are overheated and you lose that heat by letting it out in water as sweat
Well water does not sweat.
sweating
The ability to sweat is a major characteristic that helps maintain homeostasis. By sweating an individual cools their body temperature when it is too warm. This in turn keeps the body at a homeostatic temperature in which the proteins and enzymes (within the body) continue to function as normal.
When our bodies get heated, we sweat, and when we sweat, our skin absorbs the moisture and cools us off again.
Sweating is a mechanism by which the body helps maintain body temperature homeostasis.
By sweating when it is hot and shivering when it is cold.
Because, there is follicles there and it helps with temperature control and sweating.
People usually maintain a normal body temperature by wearing appropriate clothing. In very hot weather (such as we are having now) air conditioning also helps a lot.
There are two things that the body accomplishes by sweating. The first is that sweating cools down the body. The second is that is gets rid of wastes and helps maintain homeostasis.
Thermal
A mechanism called hemostasis helps the body maintain a steady state (but within a range and not exact). There are lot of examples: exercising causes the muscles to produce heat which causes you to sweat which causes your body temperature to drop back to close to the normal temperature.
The Cadiovascualr System : 1. Circulates oxygenated blood and nutrients to the body. 2. It protects the body from infections and loss of blood. 3. It helps the body to maintain a normal temperature. 4. Also helps maintain the fluid balance of the body.
The skin regulates body temperature. (Sweating, shivering,...)
