Quick Recall Flashcards

How does sweating cool the body?

Sweat glands release sweat onto the skin. As sweat evaporates, it takes heat energy away from the skin, cooling the body. More sweating occurs when the body is too hot.

What is thermoregulation?

Thermoregulation is the process of maintaining a constant core body temperature of 37°C, regardless of changes in the external environment.
