Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the air temperature is higher than the skin temperature, sweating becomes a means of heat loss through evaporation. As sweat evaporates from the skin surface, heat is dissipated in the form of latent heat of vaporization, cooling the skin and the body. Shivering (B), fever (C), chills (D), and vasoconstriction (E) are all mechanisms of heat conservation rather than heat loss.
