Does water help regulate body temperature?

Solution

Explanation:

  1. Yes, water has the ability to adjust the internal temperature of the body in reaction to the outside temperature (ambient temperature).
  2. When the temperature climbs to dangerous levels, the body fights overheating through sweating.
  3. Body water serves as a thermoregulator, controlling overall body temperature by assisting in heat dissipation.
  4. Water is lost through perspiration when the body becomes too hot, and the evaporation of this sweat from the skin surface removes heat from the body.
