Blood is a liquid that acts as an insulator of heat. When more blood is rushed to an area of the body, some of the heat escapes and is transmitted to that site which helps to regulate temperature.

∙ 15y agowell, it is in the body therefore it is "touching" the body, so it adapts to the temperature.for instance, put a glass of water on a table and leave it over night and don't do anything-that water will eventually adapt to the room you left it in's temperature. answer your question? i thought so.

∙ 14y agoBlood is a liquid so it gets hot or cold and as it is circulated around the body it distributes its warmth of coolness to different parts of your body. Therefore helping to keep your boy temperature sable.

∙ 9y agoIn the cold climate, the blood supply to the skin is reduced, drastically. The skin with subcutaneous fat acts as a barrier to lose the heat from your body. In hot climate, blood supply to the skin is increased several fold. You produce about one litre of sweat per hour. The sweat is evaporated. The heat of evaporation is taken up from the air, as well as from the body. It takes lot of heat to evaporate this much fluid. That helps to regulate your body temperature.

∙ 9y agoBlood regulates body temperature by releasing heat at dilated blood vessels near the skin surface when body temperature is too high. When temperature is low, blood vessels constrict to conserve heat.

∙ 12y agoWhen you are hot blood vessels enlarge. The blood flow to the skin is increased. When you are cold blood vessels to the skin narrow. The blood flow to the skin is decreased.

∙ 15y agoBlood flow to the skin and limbs helps regulate body temperature in that an exchange of heat between the body and the environment takes place when the blood flows to the skin.

What body organ helps to keep you at a steady temperature?
The skin is the organ of the body that helps people keep a steady temperature. When it is cold the fur on the body will help keep the body warm.
What is the goal of homeostasis?
Homeostasis is ability for organisms to maintain stable internal conditions. Take people for example. People have to maintain a temperature of 98.6o F. If the temperature gets too high or low we won't function properly and can even die. Therefore it is essential to maintain that normal body temperature.
What are the main steps of aerobic cellular respiration?
a cell absorbs glucose via the bodies blood system.the cell then absorbs oxygen.the chemical reactions between these two chemicals happen in the cytoplasm of the cell and this then produces co2, water and energy for the tissues, either kinetic energy to help the body move or heat energy to keep the body at a stable safe temperature.
Why are valves important?
Valves are important because they prevent the backflow of blood. This is so the fresh oxygenated blood will not be mixed with the deoxygenated blood as well as the blood running from the pulmonary side will not flow back to the aortic side. The valves keep the blood going in one direction, and that keeps the body stable.
What helps to maintain a stable internal environment?
Homeostasis means to maintain a stable internal environment. Lack of homeostasis is disease. All of the body organs do this. They keep the systems working at a set range. Blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. The main organs involved are the liver, kidneys, lungs and nervous system.
What are examples of homeostasis in a vertebrate organism?
Homeostasis basically translates to 'keeping the body stable' the body needs to keep a very stable internal environment: ~our enzymes work at a very specific temperature, so we do everything we can to keep the body at a stable temperature (98.6 F) ~we keep blood sugar at a stable level by releasing insulin when we have a lot of sugar in the blood and glucagon when it is too low ~the kidneys the blood at certain acidity level ~we retain water from urine when the body is dehydrated, and increase urination when the body has too much wate
What helps keep the body at a stable temperature?
Homeostasis
How does a Dhole keep a stable body temperature?
They are warm blooded. They do it the same way as humans.
What is homeostasis and how are the kidneys important?
Homeostasis is the body's ability to regulate body temperature. The Hypothalamus in the brain 'records' the temperature of blood passing through it as well as water levels. Which then sends signals to the rest of the body in order to maintain a stable body temperatre. If your cold your blood vessels constrict ( vasoconstriction) to keep heat in, you shiver to warm up etc. Or if your hot your blood vessels dilate (vasodilation) to let heat out of the body through radiation, and you sweat etc. The kidneys have nephrons. These systems basically keep water levels in the body stable. (osmoregulation) if your dehydrated they will keep water in, if you have too much the kidneys will get rid of it. They are attached to the bladder, so obviously the water leaves the body if needs be through urine. They ultimately filter the blood also, getting rid of waste in the body.
How does your body keep a constant heat?
The body keep a constant heat because f the blood running through the body. The body temperature does not change even if the temperatures of our surroundings change.
How do fish keep their body stable?
they have bones to keep is stabel
Examples of homeostatis?
Regulation of body temperature, of blood pH, of blood glucose levels, and of anything else that our body tries to keep at a standard level despite external factors.
What is the constant body temperature?
Well the average is 98.6oF or 37oC but a persons body temperature can be a little higher or a little lower.
What control the body temperature?
The blood that flow through the skin and subcutaneous area controls our body temperature. Body temperature is governed by the hypothalamus, a very small organ near the base of the brain. Perspiration is the secondary cooling control, that works evaporatively to keep the body temperature from getting too high.
What does the body do to keep the temperature the same?
How do are body's maintain a constant temperature?
What temperature is required when transporting horse blood?
i would say keep the regular temp of a horse's body, or a little colder.
How do you keep blood glucose levels stable?
pituitary gland
