Heatstroke results primarily from a loss of ________ cooling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heatstroke is caused by a lack of evaporative cooling, which is essential for regulating body temperature. Evaporative cooling is the process by which sweat evaporates from the skin, taking heat with it and cooling the body. When the body can no longer produce enough sweat, or when the humidity is too high and sweat cannot evaporate, heatstroke can occur.
