What body system helps to maintain normal body temperature by dissipating excess heat?

Heat is produced in your body by metabolic (chemical) processes, such as absorbing nutrients and performing muscular work. When at rest, your body needs all this heat to enable its basic functions to work properly. For example, to provide your body cells with oxygen and nutrients during breathing and digestion.

How does homeostasis relate to hyperthermia?
by trying to maintain the normal body temperature
What is body temperature that is higher than normal?
If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs.
How does homeostasis impact the human body?
Maintain a normal value of certain body temperature.
How might a normal body temperature be maintained?
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.
What is the circulatory system transport this which helps regulate temperature?
Your question is not quite clear, but if you are asking "does the circulatory system help maintain body temperature?" then I would the answer is yes. It moves blood throughout the body which regulates the body temperature. Doing so also supplies supplies oxygen and nutrients for the cells in your body.
Why is it important to maintain a stable temperature in our bodies?
It's important to maintain a stable temperature in our bodies because we want to stay healthy. If our temperature is too high (like higher than a fever temperature), or is too lower than our normal body temperature (about 98 degrees), we could get really sick or possibly die.
Do you put a blanket on a victim after CPR?
Sometimes; the objective is to maintain normal body temperature. If it is cold, then, you would use a blanket.
Which describe the body's ability to maintain it's normal state?
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.
Can a hot drink give you a fever?
Yes, but the amount will depend on many factors such as the ambient temperature [the air or water around you], the temperature of the beverage. the amount of hot beverage consumed and at what rate, and your body's natural system which works to maintain a body temperature of approximately 98.6 Fo. If your body temperature is low, then the hot beverages will help to raise it back to normal. However, if your body temperature is at or above normal, your body's cooling system will tend to work to get rid of the added heat in order to maintain normal.
What the circulatory system cannot do because of the disease?
The circulatory system may not be able to maintain the normal body temperature and accordingly one feels warmer and hotter and temperature gets more than normal of 37 degrees centigrade.
What is it called when your body goes back to normal?
Homeostasis? I'm not sure as to your question. The self-regulation of your body to maintain is called homeostasis... like the ability of your body to maintain a specific temperature.
When you get sick how does your body attempt to maintain homeostasis?
By sick - if you talking about getting the fever then your body tries to maintain the normal body temperature which is 37 degree Celsius by increasing the metabolic rate.
