Heat is produced in several of the body's major organs, such as the Liver, Stomach and Heart. This heat is transferred throughout the body via the blood stream. Heat is lost via exhaling, and is commonly lost from our bodies through our skin, especially on hot days when the capillaries beneath the surface of our skin dilate to release more heat in order to cool down the body. We also lose heat when we sweat, via the same mechanism I just described with the capillaries, as well as when we urinate. I hope this has been helpful.

Could hypothermia occurs due to loss of excessive heat from body due to sudden low body temperature in?
Human Beings
What is insensible heat loss?
Also Latent Heat Loss. The heat that is lost through the continuous, unnoticed water loss that occurs with vaporization accounting for 10% of basal heat production. Evaporation accounts for the greatest heat loss when body head increases.. Does not result in temperature increase of surrounding air.

What is the heat escape lessening position h.e.l.p designed to prevent?
The loss of body heat when in the water
What is the significance of uncoupling proteins in adipose tissue?
increased loss of body heat
Why do dark colors reduce heat loss?
The darker the color is, the less heat radiation occurs.
What is the fastest method of body heat loss?
In high temperatures there are several methods of body heat loss. One is metabolic heat loss, which is where the metabolism of the body produces heat which is increased in higher temperatures, this in turn produces heat loss. There is heat exchange which is where body heat is lost when making contact with a cooler object. Also conductive heat exchange allows the body to lose heat as coming cool, like water or air, move around the person. The body also uses radiant heat exchange which is where the blood is sent to the superficial arteries and veins to let off heat. Finally there is evaporative heat loss which is of course when a person sweats and as that sweat evaporates it takes body heat with it, thus in turn cooling the body down.
What is the condition that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it produces it?
You start to get cold. After awhile you begin to shiver. If heat loss continues, you'll eventually become unconscious and finally die.
What is the balance between the heat loss and the heat produced by the body?
the right side
When does water weight loss occur?
When you heat up the water, it becomes less dense. Therefore, the weight loss occurs.
What is the heat escape lessening designed to prevent?
the loss of body heat when in the water
The loss of body heat by conduction can be enhanced by?
Convection
