our body adapts to temperature using something called negative feedback this is where the body trys to get back to the optimum (preferred) temperature of about 37 degrees c below is how negative feedback works :
when your hot - when your hot vassodilation happens this is where the blood vessels in the skin open up along with the pores on the surface of your skin to release excess heat this produces sweat which spreads across the surface of your skin in order to cool it down back to the optimum temperature.
when your cold - this is a similar process as if you were hot but is called vassoconstriction this is where the blood vessells instead of opening up get thinner this is so that hardly any heat come away to be release on the surface of the skin this in turn causes the hairs on our arms to stick up this helps our body gather heat to its maximum to normalize back to the optimum temperature.
hope this helped :)

How do people adapt to the Mexican climate?
Adaption, genes are passed on that are tolerable of heat
What type of heat is body heat?
Body heat is a form of thermal energy produced by metabolic processes within the human body. It is primarily generated as a byproduct of the body's internal functions, such as digesting food, breathing, and exercising. This heat helps to regulate body temperature and maintain overall physiological function.
Is your body heat an example of exothermic?
Yes, body heat is an example of an exothermic process. When your body metabolizes food to produce energy, heat is released as a byproduct, which helps to maintain your body temperature.
What regulates heat?
A human body regulates its temperature by sweating and shivering. When the body is too hot, glands produce sweat which contains heat and evaporates, taking the heat with it. When a human is too cold, the body starts to shiver, a quick, repeated motion which generated heat from repeated muscle motion.
Do hats retain body heat?
Yes, hats can help retain body heat by covering the head, which is a major source of heat loss from the body. The hat acts as an insulating layer that traps the heat, helping to keep the body warm in cold conditions. However, the extent to which a hat retains body heat will depend on the material and thickness of the hat.
Do pearls absorb your body heat?
Pearls are sensitive to temperature changes but they do not absorb body heat like a human body would. However, pearls can adapt to body temperature when worn against the skin.
The drug that causes heat stroke?
A lot of drugs can contribute to heat stroke by altering the body's ability to adapt. The drug most strongly associated with heat strokes is ecstasy.
How can animals in the desert live in the heat?
they adapt
How do thermophiles adapt?
The cells that are in thermophiles need extreme heat to multiply, they have adapted by changing their body temperature and now survive best in hot climates.
How do wolves adapt to perform their body function?
wolves adapt by camoflaguing.
How do you get used to cold weather?
You have to let your body adapt to it. For example, most people in Florida freeze their butts off when its under 70*F, but people in Alaska have a heat stroke in that kind of weather. Your body adapts to where you are, even if you're on Pluto
How does the Arctic hare adapt to the Arctic?
in the winter it has thick fur to trap body heat, but otherwise, it has long ears and long feet to adapt to the harsh and cold weather.
What animal has ears that help the animal adapt to the environment besides an elephant?
Dessert Foxes have very large ears that help it locate preay and reduce body heat.
What do animals have to adapt to in the savanna?

What do you call plants that adapt to intense heat and light?
pol;'
What are snake adapations in the desert?
They have to adapt to the heat of the desert and prey loss. If there food dies out they have to adapt to something else to eat
What adaptations do people have to survive in deserts?
Humans are able to alter their environment to make life in the heat of a desert bearable. Such items as air conditioning or even electric fans can make life in the desert more comfortable as well as constructing homes that are well insulated to hold in cooler air and keep out the heat.
