When you lose alot of blood why does your temperature go up?

I thought if anything it would go down and youd get cooler.

Think of it this way -

The engine of your car will overheat without coolant flowing through it.

I still am having difficulty understanding. And Google isnt helping.

If the body is hot and blood keeps us cool. Why is blood so warm and hot when it comes out?
It just doesn't make sense to me.

When the iron in blood comes into contact with oxygen it has a chemical reaction. Maybe the "warmth" or "heat" is just a product of that reaction.

Maybe your right.
That's really interesting to think of blood as coolant like we are engines
I think of us more as like plants

I like thinking of us as plants too! That we are in tune with nature and a product of the natural world around us :) But our bodies are so crazy intricate, I don't understand any of it! We are very machine like
