What is the function of perspiration?

Answer 1

Sweat, properly called perspiration, is evaporation of body fluids through the skin. The perspiration helps control body temperature. The skin is cooled as perspiration evaporates. Emotions such as fear, excitement, and worry can also result in perspiration.

Answer 2

wet things tend to be cooler than dry things ;-) You can experiment for yourself; lick a finger and blow on it, then blow on a finger that is dry.... the evaporation removes calories. that's the point behind perspiration, your perspiration is meant to dry in the wind and make you cooler, when you get cool enough, you stop perspiring, therefore your temp is regulated. Simples!
