Heat energy is released as a by-product of your cells’ metabolism. It just needs to be gotten rid off to a smaller or larger degree, depending on your immediate environmental conditions.
Your body temperature is therefore regulated by your skin and your blood vessels. The less constricted your small vessels are (so the more blood flows through your peripheral body parts) and the more sweat your skin produces the more your body cools down via evaporative cooling.
