Blood carries many things including heat, so where blood flows the heat from the body follows. Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction is the act of opening or closing the lumen of the blood vessels. Opening the vessels (vasodialtion) to the skin allows the heat to be carried to the surface of the body where it escapes into the atmosphere. This is why you go red at a medium level of exercise. The extra heat produced is corrected by increasing the blood flow to the skin allowing heat to dissapate and intensifying the rednes. In cold weather flow to the skin is decreased through vasoconstriction meaning that less heat is lost to the atmosphere.
Organisms maintain homeostasis by perceiving changes in the internal and external environment and then signalling to cells, tissues and organs to counteract those changes. For instance, to maintain a constant internal body temperature, the body senses both the body's current temperature as well as the air temperature around the body. Then, depending upon which is warmer and which cooler, the body then signals for additional blood flow to the skin and the secretion of sweat (to cool the body) or signals for decreased blood flow to the skin and possibly for muscles to start contracting (to warm the body).
Kidney issues can cause elevated enzymes. When your kidneys are damaged, your body responds with elevated levels of naturally occurring enzymes.
Arterioles dilate in warm environments (vasodilation). Dilate means to open. Vasodilation is a process in which the increased blood flow through the dermis brings excess heat close to the body surface to be radiated to the environment. Arterioles constrict in cold environments (vasoconstriction). Constrict means to close. Vasoconstriciton is a process in which the decreased blood flow through the dermis keeps heat within the core of the body. Both take place to maintain homeostasis. In stressful situations, vasoconstriction takes place. It will shunt in the dermis or redirect blood to more vital organs such as the muscles, heart and brain.
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.

During your menstrual cycle, an elevated basal body temperature indicates that you have entered your luteal phase. This means that you have ovulated and moved on from the folicular phase. During the first part of your cycle, your body produced estrogen which lowers the basal body temperature. Once ovulation occurs, the body begins to produce progesterone, which causes basal body temperature to rise slowly until your period comes. Throughout your cycle, your temperature should rise and fall, but it is considered an elevation when the temperature rise above a cover line and stays elevated above it.
Vasoconstriction helps limit blood loss from a ruptured blood vessel, buying precious time for platelets and coagulation to form. Vasoconstriction is instantaneous but short-lived and platelets and coagulation are needed for a lasting effect.
The body believes that there is something to fight;so it raises the temperature, to kill off the offenders.
increased body temperature
there are a lots of reasons.. the most common one would be cold. when your body temperature decreases it causes the arterioles under the skin to constrict which results in decrease in heat loss from the body. the other reasons would be neurogenic vasoconstriction during minor trauma to skin, and many more less common causes.
A body temperature of 37.65 degrees Celsius is slightly elevated. It is considered to be in the range of what is considered a low grade fever.
Yes, due to decreased amounts of subcutaneous fat.
Shivering produces heat and vasoconstriction reduces the ability of blood to dump its heat load to the skin's surface where cooling occurs.
