Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insensible perspiration refers to the loss of fluid through the skin that is not noticeable or consciously controlled, such as through normal breathing, sweating, or other normal bodily functions. Sensible perspiration, on the other hand, is the visible and noticeable loss of fluid through sweat during physical activity or in response to heat. Latent perspiration is another term for insensible perspiration, while active and inactive perspiration are not commonly used terms in this context.
