Q
- How does skin maintain body temperature if a person becomes too warm?
A
Blood vessels enlarges and that increases the amount of blood that flows through them. This allows heat to move from the body into the outside environment. Sweat glands in the skin produce prespiration. As the prespiration evaporates, it carries heat into the air. The hairs on the arms also lay flat.
