AB Heat  results  from  the  human  body’s  natural  metabolic  processes,  such  as  ATP  breakdown,  protein  synthesis,  and  most  other  homeostasis  reactions.  Heat  released  during  these  reactions  needs  to  be  removed  from  the  body  in  an  efficient  and  timely  fashion  to  maintain  normothermia  because  most  physiologic  processes  within  a  cell  function  within  a  narrow  temperature  range.  Small  derangements  in  temperature,  high  or  low,  can  lead  to  organ  system  failure.  Key  mechanisms  employed  to  dissipate  excess  heat  are  radiation,  conduction,  convection,  and  evaporation.
