Dermal vasodilation is a smooth muscle action triggered by the autonomic nervous system (and in particular the hypothalamus) when the body's temperature is raising. As the dermal blood vessels dilate (plump-up) with warm blood, heat is lost through the skin by radiation, convection and conduction.
What else can I help you with?
Blood vessels in the dermis aid in the regulation of?
Blood vessels in the dermis of the skin aid in the regulation of body temperature by constricting (vasoconstricting) to maintain internal body temperature, or expanding (vasodilation) to release heat and lower body temperature.
Does vasodilation raise or lower body temperature?
vasodilatation reduces body temperature.
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.
What do arterioles in the dermis do in a cold environment?
They will allow the blood vessels to widen so that more heat loss can occur through evaporation. This is vasodilation.
What stimulates vaso dilation?
Vasodilation is a mechanism for thermoregulation . It is used for cooling down body temperature . Increased body temperature stimulates vasodilation .It results in increased blood flow to skin to aid heat dissipation .
How does vasodilation help to control a persons body temperature?

Explain how vasodilation affects body temperature?
Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow closer to the skin's surface. This can help dissipate heat more efficiently, lowering body temperature. Conversely, vasoconstriction, the narrowing of blood vessels, helps conserve heat and maintain body temperature in cold conditions.
A gland located in the dermis of the skin that helps to regulate body temperature is the?
Sweat glands
When body temperature rises a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature is an example of negative feedback or positive feedback?
This is an example of negative feedback because the body is working to reverse the initial change in order to restore homeostasis. When the body temperature rises, the brain triggers responses such as sweating and vasodilation to help cool down the body and bring the temperature back to the normal range.
Does heat affect blood pressure?
Increases in body temperature cause a corresponding increase in respiratory rate and heart rate because there is an increase in metabolic needs of the body. As regards blood Pressure, I believe the blood pressure goes down as a result of an Increase in body temperature. The body generates a lot of heat that decreases body hydration level and a result the body becomes dehydrated and the BP decreases. Increase with fever, necessitating more oxygen. The client who has a decrease in body temperature will experience a decrease in respiratory rate, Heart rate and Blood pressure.
Which layer of the skin has blood vessels?
The layer of the skin that contains blood vessels is the dermis. Blood vessels in the dermis help nourish the skin cells and regulate body temperature.
Do medication affect body temperature?
Some medication may affect body temperature. It can increase or decrease body temperature. I.e. tylenol may decrease temperature if you have fever. Some stimulant may increase temperature when used, etc.
