Sweating: Direct Influence of Skin Temperature

W. van Beaumont 1 and Robert W. Bullard 1

1 Department of Anatomy and Physiology, Indiana University, Bloomington

The onset and magnitude of the sweating response is greatly influenced by the local skin temperature. This influence was evident with skin temperatures above 33°C and occurred in the physiological range for thermo-regulatory sweating. The sweating rates were recorded continuously and simultaneously from three areas of the skin.
