How does the integumentary system contribute the cardiovascular system?

One of the functions of the integumentary system is to regulate body temperature. It does so by using the APM (arrector pili muscle) to raise arm hairs and help increase body temperature when cold by using this muscle contraction and to help trap and warm air underneath these hairs.
The circulatory system is also responsible for helping regulate body temperature. It does so by allowing the blood vessels to vasodilate (widen) or vaso constrict (become smaller). When the blood vessels dilate what else does the heat escape through than the integumentary system (the skin).

Is your upper arm a skeletal or muscle system?
It has organs belonging to the muscular system, the skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, the integumentary system and the nervous system in it. Muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves and skin.
Is regulation of body temperature a major function of the cardiovascular system?
Yes, temp. regulation is a function of the Cardiovascular system but also the Integumentary system. The blood distributes heat created by muscle contraction to the rest of the body. Blood vessels in the skin dilate when body temperature rises and constrict when heat needs to be conserved. In this way, the integumentary system plays a key role in regulating body temperature.
Hair is a part of what system?
