Do peripheral blood vessels vasodilate to maintain a core body temperature?

If your body temperature gets too high, then one way that the body goes about lowering it, is to cause peripheral blood vessels to dilate, thus causing more blood to flow through these vessels, ie the vessels of the skin esp. This is why a light skinned person will appear flushed when they are very warm. Blood carries a lot of heat, so when blood rushes through these peripheral vessels near the skin surface, they will give up heat to the environment, thus cooling down the body. The reverse will happen in body temperature falls too much.
