Answer:

The nervous system regulates breathing and heartbeats but it's also responsible for regulating the core temperature of the body. So when conditions are too warm or hot and body temperature rises, the blood vessels can dilate causing heat loss. Nerves can trigger sweat glands to release fluid that evaporates and cools the skin so that body temperature begins to lower to a normal condition.
