if your body temperature increases (you get hot), what happens to your rate of perspiration? Do you sweat more or less?

Question

a your rate of perspiration decreases (you sweat less to stay warm)
b your rate of perspiration increases (you sweat more to cool off)
c no change occurs

Answer 1

b your rate of perspiration increases (you sweat more to cool off)

When your body temperature increases, your body responds by increasing perspiration (sweating) in order to cool down through the evaporation of sweat on the skin's surface.
