How does sweating to cool and regulate body temperature? a) the increased salt concentration of the body's cells maintain a lower body temperature. b) water has a high heat of vaporization; the human body can dissipate excess heat by the evaporation of sweat. c) the low specific heat of water allows it to readily evaporate into the atmosphere, quickly cooling your body. d) water's cohesive properties cause water molecules to stick together requiring the body's thermal energy to evaporate sweat into the air.
