I know you use energy to make heat, and i know it comes from everywhere, but whats SPECIFICALLY is creating that heat? is it ATP going to work? or what?
Thanks

when you are cold and you body temp needs to rise this is done by :
- shivering
- blood capilaries near the skin getting smaller (ie. no heat loss from the skin
- hair on your body stands up (goose bumps) to keep some heat from evaporating
- body prevents sweating
When you body want to loose heat :
- blood capaliers get larger ( help heat loose)
- body encourages sweating

It is not ATP that causes the heat. Body heat is produced as a waste product during metabolism. So it is the enzymes that are part of metabolism that causes this heat.

A billion little cellular fires burning sugar is a large part. Muscles at work is another, but related part. Still another is the body dumping heat, which is the stuff most of us perceive from touch and surface effects.
