There are many ways one is perspiration. The sweat evaporates and cools the body because of the latent heat of evaporation of water. (evaporative cooling) This is called thermoregulation.
Also, if the temperature around you is hotter than your body, you lose heat by radiation and conduction.
Blood vessels also get bigger near the skin when you are hot to help heat leave the body. Blood vessels getting bigger is called vasodilation and this is another method of thermoregulation.
One other method of cooling is used by the hairs on your body.
When the hairs are flat they increase the flow of air next to the skin increasing heat loss by convection.

What organ of excretion is the largest in the body and gets rid of heat and urea?
The organ that excretes Urea compounds are the kidneys, BUT they do not excrete HEAT. No organ of the human body EXCRETES heat.
Radiation from the skin surface and evaporation of sweat are two ways in which the skin helps to get rid of body?
Heat
What organ system is responsible for the removal of excess heat energy from the body?
The body has a number of strategies for removing excess heat energy from your body. The skin uses sweat glands to excrete sweat, which evaporates and cools a person's body temperature. The blood vessels expand to release heat, which is why we become "red" when we are hot.
What purposes does the production of sweat on the skin serve?
Sweat carries excess heat out of your body and when the sweat evaporates it takes that excess heat with it cooling you off.
How do mammals that DO NOT have sweat glands get rid of excess heat?
Mammals produce their own heat by thermoregulation. Cells produce heat while burning glucose. This activity is controlled by the thyroid gland.
What can happen if the body cannot get rid of excess heat?
The body can become overheated and die.
Why you get red when exercising?
The body is attempting to get rid of excess heat. The capillaries get flushed with blood as it carries heat to the surface of the skin.
When a cat pants does is stick out its tongue like a dog?
No, but it does open its mouth to rid itself of excess body heat.
How much water does the human body lose during activity?
When you do exercise, you sweat. This is a mechanism our body uses to get rid of excess heat.
How do you get rid of excess copper from the body?
I recently had a hair annalysis done and copper was off the charts. How do I get rid of the excess copper?
What is a thermal panting?
That might refer to a dog that pants to get rid of excess heat.
Is it normal that your guinea pigs ears went from normal to hot?
Yes, this can be normal. As long as the ears do not stay hot. The ears are a way to rid the body of excess heat.
How does a penguin get rid of all the excess salt in its body?
Jenny Craig
How does sweat help a runner?
When sweat moves out onto the skin, heat transfers from the body to the sweat on your skin which eventually evaporates, removing the heat and cooling the skin. This system eliminates heat produced by muscle contractions.
How does a dog remove excess heat from its body?
they try to waggle their tail and wallow themselves in pool of water thus releasing excess heat
How does the skin dissipate excess body heat?
Dissipatation of excess body heat results from capillaries being expaned in order to get more blood closer to the skin's surface. The body also makes sweat, which cools the body when it evaporates.
What does the kidney get rid of?
the kidney rid of because the muscles are living in our body that's why the kidney rid of
