How does your body cool down when it is to hot?
The body changes the body temperature using homeostasis. if the body gets too cold or too hot the part of the brain called hypodermis sends messages to the body to change.
if its too hot your hair on your skin lie flat and you sweat and blood cells vasodilate this is when the blood cells expand to gain a higher surface area to release heat. and vis versa when it gets cold. if you wanted a scientific answer there you go.
Your body sweats so when the air touches it you cool down.your body is mostly trained to do this stuff its like you controoling what you do its just your body controlls how hot or cold you get :)
