What will be an ideal response? Title: What methods does the body use to dissipate heat? Post by: kimmaz on Jan 26, 2018 The body uses conduction by passing heat from deep to more superficial tissue as in the case when an individual has an elevated core temperature (fever).
The body uses convection by shunting cooler blood to areas of elevated temperature (as with the localized application of a heating modality). The body uses radiation by passing heat from the body surface out into the environment (as seen on a cold day). The body uses evaporation as sweat turns into vapor it extracts heat energy from the body. |
