Hair and eccrine sweat glands
Most heat exits the head, most of the rest is through water sweated through the skin.
Part of the heat liberating apparatus of the body is the eccrine sweat gland. Eccrine sweat glands are found in the skin, mostly on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
An example of infrared rays is the heat emitted from a fire or a radiator. Infrared rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are not visible to the human eye, but we can feel them as heat on our skin.
Yes, the regulation of body heat is a function of the skin. The skin helps maintain body temperature through processes such as sweating and vasodilation, which allow heat to be released when the body is overheated. Conversely, in cold conditions, the skin can conserve heat through vasoconstriction. Additionally, the skin acts as a barrier, preventing excessive heat loss.
Sweat glands. Sweat is secreted through the skin, and the liquid water absorbs heat and evaporates, and carries the heat away from the skin. To restore your body, you must drink enough water as you have perspired away, along with salt and other electrolytes that were carried out to the skin, and which dry on the skin. This is why your sweat tastes salty, and why you itch when the sweat evaporates and leaves the salt on your skin.

No, ultraviolet (UV) radiation cannot be felt as heat because it is not a form of thermal (heat) energy. UV radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and interacts with the skin differently from thermal energy. While UV radiation can cause sunburn and damage to skin cells, it does not produce a sensation of heat like infrared radiation.
Burn it
A burn (caused by radiation, or heat) to the skin.
Yes, heat can cause skin to expand. When skin is exposed to heat, blood vessels dilate, which can lead to increased blood flow, causing the skin to swell or appear more full. Additionally, heat can also cause water content in the skin to evaporate, leading to skin dehydration and potentially making it appear tighter or more stretched.
