Why do we perspire when we exert ourselves?

Question

What structres/organs cause it in relation to the nervous system. and whats their role?

Answer 1

As every1 pointed out, it's to bring down the body temperature.
But, I think u r asking how we perspire.
True, there r sweat glands in the skin, they respond to acetylcholine to secrete (excrete) more sweat. This is made possible by the dilatation of the capillaries that supply the skin, which in turn occurs as a response to the catecholamines (epinephrine & norepinephrine) secreted by the adrenal medulla & the individual sympathetic nerves. Temperature-regulation is a function of the hypothalamus.
Hopes this clears ur doubt. Bye. TC.

Answer 2

The sweat glands embedded under the skin, near the hair follicles (an exocrine gland). Nerve cells from the sympathetic nervous system connect to the sweat glands.

Answer 3

sadly he did not answer the question, he is asking why we perspire when we exert yourself, it has something to do with homeostasis, basically when you exert yourself, you GAIN HEAT!! and lots of heat is bad for the body so as a negative feedback it starts the process of releasing heat through perspiration, thus we sweat when we work ourselves, but his view of it , is the biological way and is also correct, mine just states the homestatis part of the question! hope that helps!

Answer 4

When you exert yourself, your muscles burn fuel (sugars, fats, glycogen, depending on what you are doing). In addition to energy, this produces heat.

In order to cool the body, the sweat glands force fluid to the surface of the skin so that air can evaporate it. The process of evaporation is cooling.

Answer 5

It's your body's way of cooling itself. When you overheat, your glands sweat to cool you off.

Answer 6

homeostatic response to maintain a temperature range for the body to work efficiently.

Answer 7

its a natural a/c unit in your body to help cool you off.
