How does sweating help humans maintain homeostasis?

Answer 1

Homoeostas is the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its environment when dealing with external changes.

When you are too hot the body produces sweating which helps the body maintain a cooler temperature. The evaporation of sweat from the skin provides a cooling action which is called evaporative cooling.

Evaporation is the process of turning from liquid to vapour. It needs heat (or lower pressure) to do this. So as the sweat evaporates it absorbs heat. So providing a cooling effect

Note that dogs can't sweat ... they cool themselves by hanging out their long tongues and panting. This causes evaporation of the saliva from the tongue and draws in the cooled air to cool the body!

Answer 2

It acts like a small kidney by getting rid of excess water and salts. Additionally, it works in temperature control to maintain your surface temperature to make sure you do not overheat.

Answer 3

Sweat glands are crucial to maintaining body temperature. They do so by making you release excess heat through sweat and evaporation of it.

Answer 4

well, you sweat so it keeps your body cooled down, which makes your body stay in a regular and healthy temperature

Answer 5

The sweat glands secrete sweat which lies on the surface of the skin and then evaporates which cools the body down.

Answer 6

They ensure that you regulate your body temperature by loosing heat from the body through sweat.

Answer 7

as it evaporates, it carries away excess body heat.

Answer 8

It help cool down the body

Answer 9

they let heat pass out through your body
