How does your body get rid of excess heat?
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.
Why is a warm body advantageous to a living thing?
A warm body allows diffusion to occur. Diffusion allows the cells to stay hydrated, but not overly hydrated.
What ways is the energy that is released during respiration used in all animals?
can someone please answer this question im stuck!!!
2 examples of how the human body maintains homeostasis.?
Two examples 1:the body's reaction to temperature if it is cold your body shivers to produce heat and you get goosebumps to contain the heat. If the body is hot it produces sweat to cool you off. 2:the body's reaction two high blood pressure if your pressure is high your body gives of insulin to lower it.
Why is homeostasis important?
Homeostasis is what regulates your body temperature and keeps you at a constant temperature, for humans it is 98.6 F. Homeostasis is what causes you to sweat, and shiver. You sweat when you are hot to cool down and shiver when you try to get warm. Here's a definition: The ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes.
What reflex is triggered to warm your body?
Shivering
Does sweating help keep body warm?
No, it helps the body cool down.
Why are guys so warm?
That is their body heat. Either that, or they're sweating.
What is your body trying to do when you are sweating?
Your body is trying to warm you up and raise your overall body temperature. When you shiver your hair stands on end and creates somewhat of a blanket that warm your skin by a fraction of a degree.
Warm-blooded animals respond to higher tempertrue by?
sweating or some other means of lowering their body temp.
How does excercise warm the body?
Energy that the muscles use release heat as a by-product, which it then cooled by the dilation of blood vessels and sweating.
Why we sweat on hot days?
Sweating takes warm water from inside the body - to the surface - where it evaporates, taking the heat with it. Therefore we cool down.
What causes sweating during running in order to maintain homeostasis?
Sweating help a runner because when a runner is running, their heart beat speeds up and warms the runner up. Sweating helps cool down the runner's body.
How your body attempts to maintain a constant temperature when you are in an extremely cold air- conditioned room?
sweating; i learned this from study island from science class, with Mrs. flannery.
What is the function of shivering?
Shivering is an involuntary muscular response from the body, triggered by cold. The "shivering" muscles are trying to internally generate heat, to help keep you warm.
Are spotted hyenas warm blooded or cold blooded?
Hyenas, like all mammals, are warm blooded as they use endothermic methods to keep their body at a constant rate. This means that they control their temperature via internal means, such as sweating, shivering and panting.
What is warm-up?
Warm-up exercise include stretching and exercices of moderate intensity that cause sweating and increase in muscle temperature.
