Body temperature can as a result of being in a warm environment or as a result of exercise. During exercise, respiration releases energy in the .

When the body temperature is too high, the skin produces , which from the surface of the skin. As it evaporates, it takes energy from the body.

If the body sweats a lot, such as during strenuous exercise on a hot day, the body can lose a lot of water and become . The body may then have insufficient water to make sweat, so the body’s temperature may continue to . This can be very dangerous.
