It's a cooling mechanism of the body. Your sweat comes out of the pores and the liquid on your skin helps to take down the outside temperature...especially if there is a breeze. Have you ever seen people who are hot from the weather...or have you been hot from the weather...and dumped water on your face or just all over? Or people who swim... It's all in order to take down the body's temperature when it begins to rise internally.

Sweating (also called perspiration or sometimes transpiration) is the production and evaporation of a watery fluid, consisting mainly of sodium chloride (the main constituent of "table salt") in solution, that is excreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals. Sweat also consists of the chemicals or odorants 2-methylphenol (o-cresol) and 4-methylphenol (p-cresol). In humans, sweating is primarily a means of temperature regulation. Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. Hence, in hot weather, or when the individual's muscles heat up due to exertion, more sweat is produced. Sweating is increased by nervousness and nausea and decreased by cold. Animals with few sweat glands, such as dogs, accomplish similar temperature regulation results by panting, which evaporates water from the moist lining of the oral cavity and pharynx. Primates and horses have sweat glands in their skin, similar to humans.

when the body is hot, the body's system activate which try to reduce the hotness of the body in the form of sweating because with the sweating when it evaporates it causes cooling hence it helps the body to reduce the hotness.

out body gets hot, we "overheat" and its our bodies own way of saying im too hot. the pores become stimulated and water is lost which is also why you need to be hydrated(drink a lot of water because when you sweat you lose a lot of water) Its a coolineg mechansim for our body. Sweat is a release of "COOLNESS". Good luck!

We sweat to cool down. When the sweat is on your skin it holds in the heat from your body, as the water evaporates it takes the heat with it. The result is the cooling of your body. You need to keep your body at the ideal tempature of 98.6F, if your body heat goes over 103F then you will start to have failure in the valves of your heart. Anything higher and your other organs begin to shut down.

Our body remains and maintains constant temperature. If the out side temperature is higher than our body it want to cool the body through this cooling mechanism. We do sweat through the pores and the water from our skin surface evaporates taking out the latent heat from our body and in this process our body gets cooled.
