I believe your question is about the difference in sweating and urination during warm and cold weathers. In summers (warm), humans produce lesser amount of urine as compared to winters (cold) since a part of the water is eliminated as sweat. During winters we do not sweat (or sweat less) hence more amount of urine is produced. Urine is the primary method of eliminating nitrogenous waste. Sweating is a part of thermoregulation which takes up water from body.

How is the skin an organ of both excretion and temperature regulation?

The skin is an organ of excretion because it eliminates waste products through sweat, sebum, and shedding of dead skin cells. Additionally, the skin helps regulate body temperature through processes like sweating and dilation or constriction of blood vessels in response to changes in environmental temperatures.


Is defined as the discharge from the body of metabolic waste products?

Metabolic waste products include substances like urea, carbon dioxide, and excess salts produced during cellular processes. These waste products are removed from the body through processes such as urine excretion, respiration, and sweating.


Do cells urine or poop?

Cells do not urinate or defecate. Waste products from cells are eliminated through processes such as excretion, respiration, and sweating by the organism as a whole.


What system is involved with heat production in the body?

The metabolic system, particularly through processes like cellular respiration, is involved in heat production in the body. Additionally, the thermoregulatory system, which includes mechanisms like sweating and shivering, helps to regulate body temperature and manage heat production.


Which hormone limits sodium excretion in the urine to help maintain your electrolyte balances during excessive sweating?

Aldosterone is the hormone that limits sodium excretion in the urine. It is released by the adrenal glands in response to low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels. Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain electrolyte balance during excessive sweating.

What is the role of the skin in excretion?

The skin plays a minor role in excretion by releasing small amounts of waste products such as salts and water through sweating. This process helps regulate body temperature and eliminate some toxins from the body. However, the main organs responsible for excretion are the kidneys, liver, and lungs.


How does skin control body temperature when heat production is excessive?

by sweating


What is the work of excretion?

Excretion is removing waste product from your body. Humans excrete either through their pores (sweating) or through faeces (going to the toilet).

Mammals lose solutes through a. urinary excretion b. respiration c. sweating d. all of these?

d. all of these. Mammals can lose solutes through urinary excretion, respiration, and sweating as a way to regulate their internal balance of solutes and water.


How do you lose water from the body?

Water is lost from sweating, Urination, breathing through evaporation and excretion of waste from diarhea.


Is sweating an homeostasis?

No, sweating is a mechanism by which a body maintains internal temperature homeostasis.


What is unique role of sweating in your body?

sweating maintains the body temperature by evoporative cooling


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.


What else can you sweat for?

Sweating, also known as perspiration, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals. Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the evaporation of water. Sweating is done to cool down the body's temperature.


What is the site of body temperature and water balance?

The hypothalamus in the brain is the main site where body temperature regulation occurs through processes like sweating and shivering. The kidneys play a central role in regulating water balance by filtering blood and adjusting the excretion of water and electrolytes to maintain homeostasis.


Why does sweating decrease body temperature?

Sweating decreases body temperature because when sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat with it, cooling the body down.
