Can rodents sweat?
Yes, as they have sweat glands. However... smaller body means they don't overheat as much as we higher mammals do... But yes, they do sweat. Dogs also have sweat glands too, I believe [i haven't checked that yet, so don't quote me there], they just don't use them, their minds being wired up to pant, which is a good survival strategy, as an open mouth is an easier one to quickly bite something with later.. However, all of this is conjecture other than rodents having sweat glands. I know that because my hamster had some problems with his before he died... apparently he was getting really badly blocked pores and his sweat glands messed up or something... I dunno, I was terrified of the rodent after he bit me once, so when he died, i don't think i was that sad about it.

You go to the beach to swim on an extremely hot sunny summer afternoon Describe two ways in which your integumentary system acts to preserve homeostasis during your outing?
The two ways would be sweating and vasodilation. Sweating causes the sweat glands, know also as the sudoriferous glands, to release sweat. As the sweat evaporates it cools the skin. In order to take advantage of this cooling opportunity the capillaries in your skin vasodilate, which means that they open up to allow more blood to come to the surface to release heat from inside the body.
