  1. by maintaining homeostasis


  2. Sugars in the blood being used by the tissues create a chemical reaction, a byproduct of which is heat. This is mostly generated during the action of the muscles working. The heat is held within the body by a fantastic insulation system; from the skin, fat etc inward. The cooling effect of breathing, sweating maintains the proper temerature.

  3. Regulated by Pituitary Gland. Cellular Respiration, consumption of glycogen/glucose.

  4. We are warm blooded animals, so we maintain the body temperatures by burning the glucose, when we burn glucose heat water and other things are formed heat is used by body water and other things comes out as air stools and urine...
