high metabolic rates, shivering,
Human body temperature is the measurement of heat in the human body. The average person's body temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
A person can lose/gain heat in five ways: Conduction is the transfer of heat directly from one object to another. For example sitting on the cold leather seats of an unwarmed vehicle. Convection is the loss of heat through moving air or liquid. When it is cold we lose heat through the blowing wind Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes into a gas. Sweating is an example of evaporation. Radiation is heat sent outward into the air from your body and into nearby colder objects. It is also known as infrared energy. Respiraton is also when our body breathes in warm and humidified air and exhales carrying heat from the body.
Normal core temperature should be 98.6.

The organ that excretes Urea compounds are the kidneys, BUT they do not excrete HEAT. No organ of the human body EXCRETES heat.
Heat is regulated in the body through a process called thermoregulation, which involves the hypothalamus in the brain. When the body temperature rises, the hypothalamus triggers mechanisms like sweating to cool the body down. Conversely, when the body temperature drops, the hypothalamus activates processes like shivering to generate heat and warm the body.
An example of homeostasis is body temperature regulation. When body temperature rises, the body triggers mechanisms to cool down, such as sweating. When body temperature drops, mechanisms like shivering help generate heat. Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms in the body that monitor temperature changes and adjust physiological processes to maintain a stable internal environment.
Shivering and vasoconstriction... B for plato users (:
Heat in a body is attained when there is rapid movement in the molecules of a body or when there is kinetic energy in the body.
The human body has a set temp of 98.6 degrees. If the temp rises above that set point homeostasis mechanisms kick in. when this happens the body releases sweat from sweat glands all throughout the body. In most cases when this happens a human is going under a lot of strenuous activity. even if it is cold out side the body can still build up enough heat to activate homeostasis mechanisms and produce sweat.
Joel's feelings of coldness may be due to mechanisms of heat loss such as convection, where heat is transferred from his body to the surrounding air by movement, and radiation, where heat is released from his body to colder surrounding surfaces. Poor insulation, reduced blood circulation, and low ambient temperature can also contribute to increased heat loss and feelings of coldness.

metabolic heat production (heat gain) radiated convection conduction evaporation
The human body has the remarkable capacity for regulating its core temperature somewhere between 98°F and 100°F when the ambient temperature is between approximately 68°F and 130°F according to Guyton. This presumes a nude body and dry air. The external heat transfer mechanisms are radiation, conduction and convection and evaporation of perspiration. The process is far more than the passive operation of these heat transfer mechanisms, however. The body takes a very active role in temperature regulation. The temperature of the body is regulated by neural feedback mechanisms which operate primarily through the hypothalmus. The hypothalmus contains not only the control mechanisms, but also the key temperature sensors. Under control of these mechanisms, sweating begins almost precisely at a skin temperature of 37°C and increases rapidly as the skin temperature rises above this value. The heat production of the body under these conditions remains almost constant as the skin temperature rises. If the skin temperature drops below 37°C a variety of responses are initiated to conserve the heat in the body and to increase heat production. These include * Vasoconstriction to decrease the flow of heat to the skin. * Cessation of sweating. * Shivering to increase heat production in the muscles. * Secretion of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and thyroxine to increase heat production * In lower animals, the erection of the hairs and fur to increase insulation.
