Water has the property of having a high specific heat. This trait has a great influence on maintaining homeostasis within the body. Which of the following accurately explains what it means to have a high specific heat

We can write the specific heat as:

C = (dU/dT)

Where C is the specific heat, U is the internal energy and T is the temperature.

This is:

"How much does change the internal energy when the temperature changes".

Having a high specific heat (and positive) means that for every little increase in the temperature we will have a large change in the internal energy.

What does this mean?

Think in the inverse way:

A larger specific heat means that we need a large amount of heat (the heat is energy) to change a little the temperature.

Then this is good, because even when receiving a lot of heat, the body temperature will remain about the same.
