Vasodilation actually facilitates heat loss, by bringing blood closer to the surface of the body, where the heat can more readily move from the body to the surrounding environment. The body employs vasoconstriction to retain body heat, for the opposite reason. Thus even though vasoconstriction can cause peripheral coldness and pallor, it's only because the body is conserving its heat in an attempt to prevent the core body temperature from dropping.

How did some foods cause heat and other reduces heat to the body?
There are two ways that food can heat the body: one by increasing metabolism as in ingestion of too much iodine or by decreasing heat loss. Some things ingested like alcohol give the feeling of warmth as they increase blood flow to the skin and vasodilation, but that is the sensation of heat leaving the body.

Explain the term Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction. how do these process contribute in temperature-regulationof the body?
Vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels, increasing blood flow and heat loss through the skin, which helps to cool down the body during hot conditions. Vasoconstriction, on the other hand, is the narrowing of blood vessels, reducing blood flow and heat loss through the skin, which helps to retain heat and warm up the body during cold conditions. These processes play a crucial role in temperature regulation by adjusting blood flow to the skin to maintain a stable core body temperature.
Does vaporization require loss of heat energy?
No, but instead it gains heat energy
Did accretinary collisions during Earth's formation cause heat loss?
No. They generated heat.
Is a surfers wetsuit preventing heat loss or gain?
it does
What is peripheral-vasodilation?
Peripheral vasodilation is the dilation of the veins and arteries of the periphery. This will lower blood pressure and provide less resistance for the heart to beat against. It also makes the capillaries of your face come to the surface and show you to be flushed.
Why does your skin looked flushed while running and after for sometime?
More blood goes to your skin to create heat loss. This is where your blood vessels dilate (expand). This is called vasodilation.
What do arterioles in the dermis do in a cold environment?
They will allow the blood vessels to widen so that more heat loss can occur through evaporation. This is vasodilation.

How do mammals increase heat loss from their bodies?
Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.
Which connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
The Adipose Connective Tissue insulates against heat loss and provides reserve fuel.
Which is a type of circulatory shock?
Vascular, due to extreme vasodilation as a result of loss of vasomotor tone
Insulates against heat loss provides reserve fuel?
Subcutaneous fat deposits.
Why do you have most of your hair on your head?
to protect you from the radiation of the sun and to help insulate you against heat loss
Is precipitation heat loss or heat gain?
heat loss
How do vasodilation and vasoconstriction help to keep your body temperature constant?
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.
