Is it our blood going through the heart, but in that case wouldn’t that mean our heart is a furnace?

Homeostasis. Body targets our temp to a certain range (35 ish to 37.6 ish) like a thermostat.

When it’s cold, the body regulates temperature( of the blood for example) via several mechanisms ( ie, constrict vessels to minimize heat loss; shivering to expens energy and in turn creating warmth)

When it’s hot, body creates sweat (evaporation done by using excess heat) etc.
