Example:

* Why do some people sweat more than others?

Ans.: Receptors in the skin detect changes in the external temperature and pass this to the hypothalamus region of the brain, which can make the body sweat in response. An overweight person is better insulated and has a smaller surface area to volume ratio. Their core temperature will be higher for a given external temperature, simply because it’s harder for them to dump excess metabolic heat, and they will sweat more as a result. Fit people also sweat more than normal. This is because their bodies have become conditioned to start sweating sooner in response to exercise, for optimum cooling.

* The poison arrow frogs of South and Central America are the most poisonous animals in the world.
