∙ 9y agoin very basic terminology its more structures located either in the layers of skin or beneath it,
firstly circulation, there are networks of very small blood vessels (capillaries) deep to the skin that the body can utilise if it needs to loose heat, by shunting more of the blood flow to these most superficial blood vessels heat is lost via radiation to the surrounding environment.
secondly sweat, the skin contains glands that secrete sweat onto the surface of the skin, these are warmed by your body heat until they evaporate of the skin surface, this process requires energy which is obtained from your body heat, thus heat is lost and the body can cool itself
thirdly hairs found on surface of skin, (bar glabrous skin eg soles of hands and feet) can be erected by erector muscles at the base of the hair follicle, these hairs can trap air making it stationary which can then be warmed by your body creating a layer of insulating air around you to keep you warm. think about when your cold and your hairs stand up on end.

Dehydration is more likely in hot conditions because the body loses more water. This can make your skin feel itchy, red, and dry, so read on for some ideas on how to hydrate your skin and keep your water levels up.

The temperature at which skin freezes is -78degrees centigrade.
What is peripheral temperature?
it is the temperature of the skin
What is the Temperature of skin?
The temperature of the skin varies widely depending on core body temperature, the region of the body, and the environmental temperature. The body works hard to maintain a stable core temperature, but that means that there is wide variation in skin temperature.
What does not protect the skin from bacteria?
the temperature of the skin.
Why is it more important to detect changes in blood temperature than the skin temperature?
because skin temperature may be affected by outside environment but blood temperature does not.
Why is your skin a poor instrument for measuring temperature?

What are the sensations detected by the skin?
Temperature amd pressure
What is normal skin temperature?
78
How does skin maintain homeostasis?
The skin regulates body temperature. (Sweating, shivering,...)
Does reduced blood flow to the skin raise body temperature?
Yes, reduced blood flow to the skin raises body temperature. The skin provides a way for excess heat to exit, and so increased blood flow to the skin increases heat loss and decreases body temperature.
