Which actions help the body conserve heat?
1) the hairs on your arms stand on end, which traps warm air close to your skin and basically insulates it - like thread in clothing. 2) vasoconstriction, where your blood vessels constrict, causing blood to flow closer to the centre of your body instead of closer to your skin, where heat would radiate out. 3) shivering - as your muscles contract, you warm up (kinetic to heat energy).
How does the body conserve heat?
It will try to generate heat by making the muscles move rapidly through shivering. Also your hair will raise hoping to trap heat between the body and the hair. But we have very thin body hair and that doesn't help but we see the effects of the tiny muscles pulling on the hairs to make them erect. This causes the skin to be pushed into a small hill. Something we call "goose bumps". Otherwise we have to use our brains to find a warm place.

Is dermal blood supply part temperature regulation?
Yes. The body can increase blood flow to the dermis where heat will be lost or it will decrease flow to conserve heat.
Why does the hypodermis conserve heat to the body?
The hypodermis, the deepest layer of the skin, helps conserve heat to the body through its insulating properties. It contains a layer of adipose tissue, or fat, which acts as a thermal insulator, preventing heat from escaping the body. This adipose tissue also provides cushioning and protection to internal organs.
