Panting observed in overheated birds and mammals dissipates excess heat by?
Most terrestrial animals dissipate excess heat by evaporation. This is done by either sweating (like humans) or by panting (like dogs).
How sweating causes cooling in humans?
Sweat of perspiration cools down the body through evapourative cooling. As liquid evapourates energy is absorbed from the sun!!!!
Why does a persons body cool more quickly than a dogs?
Because humans have more efficient ways of cooling like sweating. Also we don't have fur like dogs. A dogs way of cooling is panting but that is not as efficient as humans sweating. Ps dogs usually don't sweat and if they do it does not cool them off it is a way of getting rid of excess water. Humans do it to cool off though. Hope this helped!
What does it mean if your rats tail is really warm?
Rats use their tails to regulate their temperature, similar to humans sweating or dogs panting. If his tail is hot, he might just be warm from his environment or exercising, or he might have a fever.

What is it called when humans give off water?
perspiration
What is the mechanism of perspiration?
In humans, sweating is primarily a means of thermoregulation, although it has been proposed that components of male sweat can act as pheromonal cues . Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. Hence, in hot weather, or when the individual's muscles heat up due to exertion, more sweat is produced. Sweating is increased by nervousness and nausea and decreased by cold.

Do humans have control over the process of sweating?
no they do not without medication. sweating is natural.
Can humans evaporate?
No, only liquids can (perspiration, water, etc.), but u could burn humans.
What wastes are released by sweating?
Sweating (also called perspiration or sometimes transpiration) is the loss of a watery fluid, consisting mainly of sodium chloride (commonly known as salt) and urea in solution, that is secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals. Sweat also consist of the chemicals or odorants 2-methylphenol and 4-methylphenol. In humans, sweating is primarily a means of temperature regulation. Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. Hence, in hot weather, or when the individual's muscles heat up due to exertion, more sweat is produced. Sweating is increased by nervousness and nausea and decreased by cold. Animals with few sweat glands, such as dogs, accomplish similar temperature regulation results by panting, which evaporates water from the moist lining of the oral cavity and pharynx.
Do dogs breathe through their skin?
Dogs, unlike humans do not have sweat glands in their skin and thus do not sweat. The way they keep themselves cool is by panting, which has a similar affect to sweating by pulling heat off of the dogs body and transferring it to the air/moisture in the air.
