What are some ways that the body maintaion homeostasis?
Homeostasis is where the body tries to keep its internal conditions constant. Some of the ways it does this are: sweating which then evaporates and cools down the skin; vasoconstriction, where blood vessels connected to skin capillaries constrict to reduce the amount of blood going to the skin, this reduces the amount of heat lost by radiation from the skin. The body also dilates blood vessels that are connected to skin capillaries in order to increase the amount of heat lost through radiation from the skin. Shivering also maintains core body temperature; when you get too cold your body shivers (contracts and retracts muscles) this causes cellular respiration which releases heat.
