Core body temperature The body can only stay at a constant temperature if the heat generated is balanced and equal to the heat lost. Although the core temperature must be close to 37°C, fingers and toes can be colder. This is because energy is transferred from the blood as it travels to the fingers and toes.
Answer: When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body's salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.
