This heat helps to regulate body temperature and maintain overall physiological function.


What do you call it when someone gets overheated?

Working or exercising in hot conditions can cause 'heat exhaustion', which can progress to 'heat stroke'. 'Hyperthermia' is the condition of too much heat in the body. It may come from external sources or from internal medical conditions that cause the body temperature to rise in a fever. The opposite condition, a dangerously low body temperature, is known as 'hypothermia'.
