Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water lost from the alveolar surfaces and skin surface is considered insensible perspiration, which is a mechanism of heat balance where the body loses heat through evaporation without the person being aware of it. This is different from sensible perspiration, which is sweating that is noticeable and is also a mechanism of heat balance. Conduction and convection are mechanisms of heat transfer, but they do not directly involve water loss from the body.
