The skin assists heat discharges by allowing evaporation but that is controlled…

The Hypothalamus: an organ gland that excretes fluids to aid the body regulatory systems, in this case controls body temperature; it also controls hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep ~ circadian rhythm (internal clock) also works in concert with pituitary gland, also having an influence on ones sex drive. The Hypothalamus is located in the Brain just below the Thalamus just above the brain stem it is about the size of an almond.
