Question

Role of skin in regulation of body temperature

Answer 1

The skin's immense blood supply helps regulate temperature: dilated vessels allow for heat loss, while constricted vessels retain heat. The skin regulates body temperature with its blood supply. Humidity affects thermoregulation by limiting sweat evaporation and thus heat loss.

Answer 2

our skin regulates your body temperature through blood vessels and through the process of sweating.

The skin is in effect your body's thermostat. When you're out in cold weather, your skin triggers shivering so the blood vessels will contract and keep you as warm as possible.
