Why do you only sweat from your head?

Answer 1

The body perspirates, or sweats, as a natural instinct to cool down. When water evaporates, it absorbs energy from a nearby source. On human skin, this causes the skin to feel cool as the water droplets evaporate. As our bodies heat up due to air temperature, exercise, ect., our bodies sweat. This puts liquid on the skin to be evaporated into the air, cooling us off and preventing our bodies form over-heating.
To remove heat from the body.

Answer 2

When you get overheated or occasionally nervous, you're head persperates, or sweats. The forehead and feet manage body temperatures, and usually sweat the most. persperation is like dumping water onto you, and because the forehead is one of the areas that control body temperature, persperation is the body's way of cooling down. Although, in desert regions, this actually has an adverse affect. While sweating does cool the body down, it requires water. When you are in the desert, water is very scarce most of the time, and sweating takes water out of you're body and is soon evaporates and is replaced by more sweat. The body is made of about 75% water and is required for life. Soon all the water in you're body is taken and you die, which makes it a very good idea to travel at night in warm areas.
