Question 974 • Career Explorations A

Under certain external conditions, a person will perspire a great deal. For which internal condition does this response primarily provide homeostasis?

Answer
A
water balance
B
electrolyte balance
C
temperature balance
D
energy balance

Explanation

When sweat evaporates from the skin, it carries heat away from the body and cools it. So perspiring primarily helps maintain temperature balance, rather than water, electrolyte, or energy balance.
