You body sweats to make the internal temperature balanced with the external environment.

Answer 1

Correct. In response to cold temperatures, your body will shiver in order to generate heat and maintain a stable internal temperature. This shivering is a reflex action controlled by the nervous system. Additionally, your body may also constrict blood vessels in the skin to minimize heat loss and redirect blood flow to vital organs. This is known as vasoconstriction. Sweating, on the other hand, is a response to high temperatures or physical exertion and is not directly related to cold temperatures.
