Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Body temperature control in humans is one of the most familiar examples of homeostasis. Normal body temperature hovers around 37 °C (98.6 °F), but a number of factors can affect this value, including exposure to the elements, hormones, metabolic rate, and disease, leading to excessively high or low body temperatures.
