How does temperature affects the body?
For mammals very little, except for the energy expenditure required to maintain a constant internal temperature.
Explain whether your body gains or loses thermal energy if your body temperature is 37 C and the temperature around you is 25 C?
Heat flows from a hotter body to a cooler one, and never the reverse.
What units would be used to measure the surface temperature of a plane?
Surface temperature is the temperature of a body at a particular location. Factors that affects this temperature are altitude, and environmental temperature. The surface temperature declines or goes up as the plane changes altitude.
How does the temperature of the air affect the amount of humidity you feel?
Increase in temperature makes us sweat. Normally when sweat evaporates it takes heat from body to evaporate and thus cools our body. But when humidity is high the sweat is not able to evaporate thus our body is not able to cool. In cold weather we will not experience this as body does not sweat.Thus increased temperature affects the amt of humidity we feel.
Does the change in temperature of an object affect how much heat it can transfer to another object?
The temperature of an object affects how much heat can be transferred. This is because if the object to which heat is transferred has high temperature then there will not be much heat transfer. Heat flows from a body of higher temperature to lower temperature.
Does vasodilation raise or lower body temperature?
vasodilatation reduces body temperature.
What stimulates vaso dilation?
Vasodilation is a mechanism for thermoregulation . It is used for cooling down body temperature . Increased body temperature stimulates vasodilation .It results in increased blood flow to skin to aid heat dissipation .
What is the importance of negative feedback in the control of vasodilation and vasoconstriction?
Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation are a part of a body negative feedback, in which the body tries to restore homeostasis. Homeostatis is the function of keeping the internal body at it's general temperature (37 degrees Celsius). Without the negative feedback of Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation, the body would either be at a very low or very high temperature and this high/low temperature could cause death.
How does vasodilation help to control a persons body temperature?

Explain how vasodilation helps the body in hot conditions?
Vasodilation refers to an opening or widening of the blood vessels. When this occurs close to the surface of the skin, the skin feels flush and warm to the touch and heat can escape from the body.
Blood vessels in the dermis aid in the regulation of?
Blood vessels in the dermis of the skin aid in the regulation of body temperature by constricting (vasoconstricting) to maintain internal body temperature, or expanding (vasodilation) to release heat and lower body temperature.
How does vasodilation in the dermis decrease body temperature?
Dermal vasodilation is a smooth muscle action triggered by the autonomic nervous system (and in particular the hypothalamus) when the body's temperature is raising. As the dermal blood vessels dilate (plump-up) with warm blood, heat is lost through the skin by radiation, convection and conduction.
What causes vaodilation?
Corticotrpin is the harmone which increases vasodilation in our body. alcohol causes vasodilation
Briefly explain what vasodilation is?
Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels resulting from relaxation of the muscular wall of the vessels. Usually occurs during exercise, so that more oxygenated blood can be pumped to the body's tissues.

How does the outside temperature affect the body temperature?
The outside temperature affects the body temperature because it the body temperature will try to regulate itself. For example, if the temperature outside is cold, the body will generate heat as much as possible to maintain a core temperature.
When is vasodilation bad?
Never. Unless you're bleeding, but if you're bleeding the body will undergo vasoconstriction not vasodilation so the answer is never.
Do cold temperatures have a vasoconstricting effect on blood vessels?
Yes. Increased body temperature that is associated with a cold can cause the vasodilation effect and heart rate increases
