  1. Phew, that's a complex question.  I'll start you with the basics:

    There are heat-sensing nerve endings in the skin that relay a signal to the hypothalamus, which does most of the heat-regulation at the brain level.  The ways that the body then cools itself include: increasing sweat production (to cool by evaporation), and dilation of surface blood vessels.
