Explain the structure, mechanisms, and the role of the skin in maintaining a normal body temperature
When body temperature becomes elevated, two things happen in the skin to help cool the body. Identify these two processes and how they help decrease body temperature.
Explain why it is important that body temperature is maintained and what issues can arise in the body if the change is not corrected.
Covering at least one issue if the body remains too hot and at least one issue if the body is too cold.
