Several mechanisms regulate body temperature. Vasoconstriction of blood vessels at the skin surface occurs when temperatures fall, and vasodilation of blood vessels occurs when temperatures rise. Norepinephrine , thyroxine and epinephrine are secreted when to increase the metabolic rate when temperatures drop.
