Thermoregulation in humans are impermeable to sweat and thus do not facilitate heat loss through evaporation can actually contribute to heat stress. Adjusting the human body temperature downward has been used therapeutically, in particular, as a method of stabilizing a body following trauma.

Humans output from 70 watts to 870 watts, depending on the amount of physical activity undertaken. Thermoregulation in humans As in other mammals, thermoregulation in
