Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As your body converts food into energy during exercise, it produces heat as a waste product. This extra heat can elevate your body temperature above the typical 98.6 degrees. To maintain homeostasis, the blood vessels in your skin dilate to allow more blood flow to the surface of your body where it disperses the heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body’s salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Once on the surface, the water evaporates. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.
