Sweating, also known as perspiration, is the process of emitting moisture through the pores of the skin. It is primarily a means of thermoregulation and one of the ways the body maintains its internal temperature. When internal temperatures rise, the brain signals sweat glands to release moisture, which then evaporates from the skin surface, cooling the body down. Sweating can occur due to various reasons, including physical exertion, high temperatures, stress, or illness.
