What structure in the dermis help maintain the temperature?

Firstly, your sweat pores help maintain temperature by opening or closing. When your body temperature is too high, the sweat pores open and more sweat is released outside of your body, thus resulting in more evaporation of sweat and a faster cooling of your body. When your body temperature is too low, your sweat pores close and sweat production decreases to minimize heat loss. Secondly, your skin arterioles and shunt vessels help maintain your body temperature by dilation or constriction. When your body temperature is too high, your shunt vessels constrict and your skin arterioles dilate, thus causing less blood to flow into the shunt vessels and more blood to flow into the blood vessels nearer your skin and losing heat more efficiently. When your body temperature is too low, your shunt vessels dilate and your skin arterioles constrict thus causing more blood to flow into the shunt vessels and less blood to flow into the blood vessels nearer your skin and thus minimizing heat loss. Hope that helps!
