What is the role of the skin in thermoregulation
Answers
Answer:
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. The skin assists in homeostasis. Humidity affects thermoregulation by limiting sweat evaporation and thus heat loss.

Answer:
What is thermoregulation
Thermoregulation is a process that allows your body to maintain its core internal temperature is called thermoregulation.
Explanation:
in human body skin do not Acts as excretory organ but it contains two million sweat glands which can excrete salts and organic waste in the from of sweat but also act as thermoregulation.
role of skin in cold temperature : during cold condition blood vessels of the skin contract and blood supply to skin is reduced which stop sweat production and thus decrease heat loss by evaporation.more over hair's on the skin stand up when muscle at the base of the hair on the skin contract.it does not allow the body heat to go out.
In high temperature:
During overheating blood vessels of the skin expand and blood supply to skin increase. This causes more heat loss by excessive sweating by the sweat glands which cause a cooling effect.
