Your circulatory system helps regulate your temperature. When you are hot, capillaries just beneath your skin grow slightly wider to allow more blood to be near the surface of your skin and allow some body heat to escape. This is why your face is often red when your are very hot. When you are cold, the capillaries get slightly thinner. Less blood goes near the skin's surface, and less heat is lost.

Does a planarian lack a circulatory system?
Yes, it lacks a circulatory system. It diffuses oxygen directly into its cells and diffuses carbon dioxide back out. That mechanism is why planarians need to keep their skin moist. On land, planarians secrete a thin layer of mucus to make diffusion easier.
Does a flatworm have an open or closed circulatory system?
Arthropods have an open circulatory system, with organs in the internal body cavity (hemocoel) and cells bathed in hemolymph. The fluid drains into open pores for recirculation usually by a dorsal tube acting in the role of a heart. Not all arthropods use hemolymph for oxygenation; insects for example oxygenate tissues directly via tubules connected through vents (spiracles) to the atmosphere.
Is the skin part of the circulatory system?
No, it is not part of the circulatory system, it is protecting you from the environment, to help keep homeostasis( the body in stable condition)
