Identify the feedback mechanism that maintains your body temperature when your surroundings are very hot?
Now be careful saying that, our bodies do not always maintain a consistent temperature. Our bodies in hot weather can get up to 2 degrees hotter with out us feeling too bad, same thing with cold weather it can also get 2 degrees colder before we start feeling bad. However some parts of our body do stay the same temperature. On a hot day our bodies cool down by releasing heat through our skin. Our head will release more heat than any other part of our body. When it gets to hot for that to work effectively we start sweating. The sweat evaporates from our bodies cooling us down. Another way sweat helps us is that when wind blows on it our bodies cool down, to prove this go outside get 1 finger wet and the other one not wet and see which one is cooler. To add to this our bodies can take a couple degrees warmer with out stressing out too much, and if the situation calls for you to not be hot then your brain will completely tune out the fact that you are to hot (in some cases this can be life saving). If you want an extra way to stay cool go in the shade or wear white or light colored clothing. White absorbs less heat and shade blocks out heat given off by the sun. you body keeps cool by producing sweat from sweat glands. this allows you to cool of an also help to get rid of any excess salt in your metabolism

Why does one sweat for 5 minutes and then stop?
When our body gets too hot, we sweat to cool ourselves down.We stop sweating once our temperature is back to normal, because if we kept sweating, we would get too cold.Sweating also loses water and salts from our bodies, and so a we want to keep as much water and salts in our bodies as possible, which is why the body doesn't sweat for too long.
