inhibit evaporation of water from the skin surface‚ thus guarding against dehydration. The skin regulates the body temperature by sweating at its surface and adjusting the flow of blood in the dermis. The body has an internal temperature control mechanism that under normal circumstances regulate the body’s temperature within normal limits. When the body is unable to cool itself down and the body temperature rises over 104 degrees Fahrenheit‚ the body begins to overheat in the following process from
