How Sweating Keeps Our Bodies Cool
SciShow KidsThis engaging educational video from SciShow Kids explores the biological function and mechanics of sweating. Hosted by Jessi and her robot mouse Squeaks, the video starts with a post-dodgeball scenario to introduce why bodies heat up during exercise. It explains the concept of thermoregulation, establishing the ideal human body temperature and how the brain signals the body to cool down when it exceeds this limit. The video uses clear animations to demonstrate how sweat glands operate within the dermis layer of the skin and how the process of evaporation physically removes heat from the body.
