since our bodies have a mechanism for losing heat when temperature of body rises . when sweat comes out the ,water vaporizes utilizing latent heat of vaporization from our body this heat gets deducted from our body's temperature. hence to keep our inside cool and maintain a temperature of 36 degree celsius we have to perspire

Describe how the body can loose heat in conduction convection and radiation?

In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact with a cooler surface, such as sitting on a cold bench. In convection, heat loss occurs through the movement of air or water around the body, like wind blowing over the skin. In radiation, the body emits heat in the form of infrared waves to cooler surroundings, like feeling warmth from the sun.

How can an Arctic tern stand on ice without losing too much body heat?

The Arctic tern has several adaptations that allow it to stand on ice without losing too much body heat. Its body is covered in a layer of insulating feathers that trap air and provide thermal insulation. Additionally, the tern can regulate its blood flow to its extremities, minimizing heat loss by keeping its core temperature stable. This combination of insulation and physiological adaptation enables it to thrive in cold environments.


How can drinking alcohol lead to hypothermia?

No. However - drinking causes one to "feel hotter" and therefore wearing less clothing resulting in a lower core temperature than usual. Actually, it does make you lose body heat. The blood vessels close to your skin dilates,(widens) allowing more blood going to your skin, thus losing body heat. You feel hotter because the nerves close to your skin, (The ones that feels the heat) still felt heat, so it assumes that you're actually hot while you are losing your heat.
