The subcutaneous layer of the integumentary system acts as an insulation, keeping the body protected from sudden changes in temperature. Also the sweat glands give off perspiration, keeping the body from overheating. (Yes, I am talking about sweat. It's nasty, but it keeps you alive)

One is sweating, which helps cool the body down. The other is vasoconstriction which helps preserve internal heat in the body.

Two mechanisms:

Sweating and Shivering. Sweating to cool the body & Shivering to warm up the body
