How does the dilation of blood vessels in the skin help to lower the temperature of the skin surface?

When blood vessels in the skin dilate, more blood flows to the skin's surface, allowing heat to escape from the body more easily. This process helps to lower the temperature of the skin surface.


When body temperature rises blood vessels in the skin do what?

When body temperature rises, the blood vessels in the skin dilate? This helps to decrease the temp of blood and thus decrease the body's core temp by having cooler blood circulating.

Why does the face reddens when blood vessels dilate?

Many small blood vessels in your face are close to the surface. When they dilate or expand, the result is increased blood flow which can cause the red appearance, especially if you have pale skin. Generally this redness goes away when the vessels return to their normal size and the blood flow is again reduced.

What is the function of blood vessels and sweat glands in the skin?

Both the blood vessels and the sweat glands of the skin work to decrease body temperature when it is too high. The superficial blood vessels dilate to release more heat through the skin, and the sweat glands produce perspiration, which evaporates to reduce body temperature.
