Analyze: To determine the effect of a factor on body temperature, compare the final body temperature with that factor to the final body temperature while standing still. Based on this comparison, fill in the last column of the data table.
A. Which factor raised body temperature the most?
B. Why do you think this process raises body temperature?
C. Which factor lowered body temperature the most?
D. Why do you think this process lowers body temperature?

To determine the effect of each factor on body temperature, compare the final body temperature with that factor to the final body temperature while standing still.
A. The factor that raised body temperature the most is sweating.
B. Sweating raises body temperature because when sweat evaporates from the skin, it helps to cool down the body. This cooling process requires energy, which is generated in the form of heat, thus increasing body temperature.
C. The factor that lowered body temperature the most is shivering.
D. Shivering lowers body temperature because when the muscles shiver, they generate heat as a byproduct of the muscular contractions. This heat generation helps to warm up the body, thus lowering body temperature.
