A: Sweat glands and fatty layers in the skin help to regulate body temperature in mammals. When the outside temperature is high, sweat glands release bodily fluids combined with salt to keep the body temperature from getting too high.
For more information, see Anatomy of the Skin. Sweating is the primary mechanism by which the human body regulates its temperature. It occurs during waking and sleeping. Sweat glands secrete sweat in response to nervous stimuli, primarily heat stimuli, but also emotional and gustatory (food) stimuli.
