Body Too Hot = Sweating = Discomfort

• This diagram shows the distribution of heat when the body is too hot.
• Blood is redirected to all parts of the body to maximise cooling
• The difference in temperature in various body areas is now very small maximum cooling is in operation
• The body needs to use all of its ability to regain thermo neutrality.
• The body loses the excess heat by vasodilation, by radiating away heat, by sweating and by voluntary actions such as moving to a cooler place.
