i found in another forum a q. about the way of loosing heat...it appeared in a real step1 exam. I am not sure about the answer but i would say evaporation due to the sweat evaporation ( that 's a mechanism of loosing heat from the body. What do you think?
thanks a lot!!!!

a - Convection
b - Radiation
c - Evaporation
d - Conduction
e - Respiration

I will go on a limb and say the answer is C. Evaporation. Chances are she will be sweating and sweat evaporation takes body heat away. Not to mention, this concept was tested on NBME 17 if I am not mistaken

I agree with you.

I don't understand what are the other answers talking about, though..trying to find a funny point in them
