Question

Skin is the best thermoregulatory organ of the body. Comment

Answer 1

· At one point in time, the skin is vasoconstricted, and the skin temperature approaches ambient temperature; a few seconds later, the skin is vasodilated, and its temperature approaches deep body temperature. Clearly, the skin temperature in the heat‐exchange organs is not a reliable measure of the ambient temperature.

Answer 2

Skin is called thermoregulatory organ

Explanation:

The dermal part of the skin the thicker part that helps in thermo regulation.

It acts as a protective layer that prevents dehydration.

Skin contain blood vessels that helps in temperature regulation when the vessels are dilated and the vessels are constricted, it retains heat thus they helps to maintain thermo regulation in the body by maintaining constant homeostasis.

When body temperature increases,water loss takes place through the pores present on the skin which evaporate water and thus body temperature decreases.
