The skin helps control your body temperature by releasing ____ when you are hot.
A
acne
B
perspiration
C
edidermis
D
dandruff
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because cooling your body via sweating relies on a principle of physics called “heat of vaporization.” It takes energy to evaporate sweat off of your skin, and that energy is heat. As your excess body heat is used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, you start to cool down.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body water has an important role as a thermoregulator, regulating the overall body temperature by helping dissipate heat. If the body becomes too hot, water is lost through sweat and the evaporation of this sweat from the skin surface removes heat from the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -It happens due to evaporative cooling. The sweat gets vaporized from the skin into the atmosphere, by absorbing heat from the body. Thus the body cools down as it loses heat.
