Body temperature.
Energy loss and energy gain from your body need to be balanced so that your boys temperature remains constant.
The temperature of your body's extremities is normally cooler than your core body temperature.
Energy is transferred from the blood to the tissues when it reaches the cooler parts.
If your body temperature is too high, heat needs to be transferred to the environment. This is done by sweating, since evaporation form the skin requires heat energy.
If your body temperature is too low your body starts to shiver. Shivering is the rapid contraction and release of the muscles.
They need energy from the increased respiration and heat is released as a by-product, warming surrounding tissue.
