Sweat--be sure to keep yourself hydrated if you're exposed to a hot environment. Once your body is unable to sweat [as a result of dehydration], you can succumb to heat stroke, a potentially fatal condition if left untreated.

The organ most involved with maintaining body temperature is the dermis (aka skin). If you are hot you begin to perspire (aka sweat), this works through evaporative cooling (the same thing that makes you feel cold when you step out of the shower, the evaporating water draws heat away from your body).

The two mechanisms are sweating and vasodilation.

The organ that helps keep the human body cool is the skin. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that will regulate the temperature of the body.

the process of homeostasis, although it preforms several functions in the body, helps to keep the body cool. The body sweats and cools
