The skin is often referred to as an "air conditioner" because it helps regulate body temperature through the processes of sweating and vasodilation. When the body heats up, sweat glands produce moisture that evaporates, cooling the skin and, in turn, the blood circulating beneath it. Additionally, blood vessels in the skin can widen to increase blood flow, releasing heat. This thermoregulation is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing overheating.
