Homeostasis

This picture is of  a couple of volleyball players after a three hour practice. Athletes usually sweat during a practice due to lots of exercise and the hot, Bruton gym. An athlete's sweat is an example of homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain constant conditions such as temperature and blood pressure.When a person's, or athlete in this case exercise, temperature increases, the body attempts to cool off causing the sweat glands become activated, creating sweat.
