thermoregulation (warm conditions) Flashcards
1
Q
vasodilation
A
skin arterioles dilate and by-pass arterioles constricts, more blood flows to skin surface, increased heat loss by radiation
2
Q
sweating
A
sweat gland produces more sweat, more evaporation of sweat from skin surface, increased heat loss through latent heat of vaporization
3
Q
hair erector muscles
A
hair erector muscles relax, hair lay flat, less air is retained against the skin, increased heat loss by conduction/convection
