Question

A 64-year-old, fairskinned man in good overall health spent a very hot, humid summer day gardening in his backyard. After several hours in the sun, he began to feel light-headed and confused as he knelt over his vegetable garden. Although earlier he had been perspiring profusely, his sweating had eventually stopped. Because he also felt confused and disoriented, he could not recall for how long he had not been perspiring, or even how long it had been since he had taken a drink of water. He called to his wife, who was alarmed to see that his skin had turned a pale-blue color. She asked her husband to come indoors, but he fainted as soon he tried to stand. The wife called for an ambulance, and the man was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a condition called heatstroke. What happened to this man that would explain his condition? How does it relate to homeostasis? You may create a diagram to further explain your answer.
