The properties of water responsible for controlling the temperature of our body are:
i)High specific heat
ii)High heat of vaporization
Water has the highest specific heat of any common substance, 1 calorie/gm °C = 4.186 J/gm °C. This provides stability of temperature of the human body, makes it to resists temperature changes when it absorbs or releases heat. Even if sudden external temperature changes occur, the internal biological conditions are kept stable in organisms which contain enough water. The high heat of vaporization of water makes it an effective coolant for the human body via evaporation of perspiration, extending the range of temperatures in which humans can exist
