Capillaries tighten in cold weather , and close around individual hairs.
If you are overheating, vasodilation causes more blood to flow through capillaries close to the epidermis. The capillaries carry heat energy, which is lost by radiation from our skin. This is why we tend to look flushed. If we are too cold, vasoconstriction restricts the volume of blood, and the amount of heat energy, from escaping. This explains our tendency to develop a pale clamour when cold.
extremes of temperature alternating heat and cold often leads to the formation of broken capillaries. these appear as fine red lines on white skin, and discolouraiton on black skin.
Shivering to produce heat, goosebumps, blood capillaries narrowing.

No. They are vessels composed of epithelial cells (endothelium) which contain no contractile material. However, at their site of origin they contain sphincters (precapillary sphincters) that controls the flow of blood that enters the capillaries.
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
Capillaries The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
Arteries "feed" the capillaries while veins drain the capillaries.
