Answer» Human beings maintain a constant body temperature of 37°C. • In summers: The outside temperature is much higher than our body temperature. Therefore, we sweat profusely. This results in evaporative cooling and our body temperature is brought down to normal (37°C). • In winters: The outside temperature is much lower than our body temperature. Therefore, we start to shiver; this action (of shivering) is a kind of exercise (work) that produces heat and raises the body temperature. |
