The two structures that are found in the body during heat loss are the hairs on our skin and the glands. The hairs trap more warmth that enters the skin and the glands of our body stash the sweat into the surface to reduce the warm feeling, and by this, it cools our body.

What is the balance between the heat loss and the heat produced by the body?
the right side
Body temperature is an example of what?
body temperature is basically measuring the amount of heat energy in our body.
How is heat transferred when person holds a pen that is already at body temperature?
It's not.
How does the body keep its temperature?
Constant body temperature is maintained by warm blooded organisms - birds, mammals. The body temperature is maintained constant irrespective of an increase or decrease in temperature of the surrounding. The constant temperature is maintained by temperature haemostasis. This is achieved by altering the metabolic rate and rate of perspiration and urination. Maintaining constant temperature is also called as homeothermy.
What is a thermometer used for?
The use of a thermometer is to measure hot and cold in Fahrenheit and in Celsius. To measure body temperature, air temperature, atmosphere temperature. It is a scientific instrument to record temperature. It's used to measure temperature of various things. For examples- the human body , weather, liquids etc The word "thermometer" literally means to "measure heat". As such, variations of the device are used to measure the heat of numerous items, including, but not limited to, the body heat of a human or animal, or to ensure proper cooking temperatures, or to trigger a device, such as via an automobile radiator's thermostat, or even to measure the temperature of distant stars.

Can heat transfer from one object to with the same temperature?
This is not possible. Heat always move from a body of high temperature to a body of low temperature.
Why heat gained and heat loss?
Since heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature region so when a hotter body comes in contect with colder body then hotter body loses heat to colder body until both have same temperature.
What is temperature and heat?
Heat is the energy transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature. Heat flows from a hotter body to a colder body when the two bodies are brought together. This transfer of energy results in an increase in the temperature of the colder body and a decrease in the temperature of the hotter body. Temperature is a measure of the average energy of the molecules of a body. It is expressed in terms of any of several scales, such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
What measures body's heat?
The body temperature is measured by a thermometer, the instrument to measure heat contents of objects is called a calorimeter. Don't confuse heat with temperature.
Differences between heat and temperature?
heat is a energy and temperature is a measurement . (of how concentrated it is)
What instrument measures body heat?

Why is your body temperature not the same as room temperature?
because you would not be able to radiate heat out of your body
Is heat exhaustion hypothermia?
No, losing body temperature is. Hypothermia means loss of body temperature.
Where can you find some examples of equilibrium?
in case of transfer of heat. the heat is transferred from a body at higher temperature to the body at lower temperature. the heat is transferred till the time the temperature of both the bodies becomes same.
Why do body temperature increase in fever?
Your body temperature goes up because 70 percent of your energy that power your muscles is lost in heat, which causes your body temperature to rise.
What is the scientific name for losing body heat do to faling into a lake?
Losing body temperature or low body temperature is called hypothermia. if the water was colder than your body, your body can rapidly lose heat.
