* our body uses sweat to relieve us from heat * our bodies have little tolerance for hot temperatures * we have an internal temeperature of 110 and if our bodies reach over 6-7 degrees over this temperature our system shuts down * "Humidity reduces evaporation and makes everyone sweatier. A breeze enhances evaporation and makes skin cooler (unless the air is so hot the body absorbs its heat instead)" (sweatology) * a few things limit sweat: dehydration, clothing, nonexercise activities, and sunburn * the number and size of sweat glands vary from person to person * you cannot grow more sweat glands * anger, random movements, weight, and naked skin can INCREASE sweating * as the weather becomes hotter it may take a couple of days for out systems to adjust, but in the end we will adjust and make up for the increase of heat (HEAT ACCLIMATION) * when our hair vanished as we evolved... sweat glands formed inorder to keep us cool * once our skin reaches a certian temperature it is unable to release the heat into the air... the skin starts to absorb the heat (instead of releasing it)              and our brains release a signal for the heat to be relased through sweat
