False. When someone is exposed to low temperatures, the vasculature of the skin will constrict to conserve heat. When exposed to high temperatures, your vasculature will dilate to dissipate heat.

When an individual is exposed to extremely low air temperatures the capillaries of the skin will dilate so that blood will flush into skin capillary bed and heat will be dissipated?

No. That makes no sense. The body will try to conserve as much heat as possible and blood will be shunted to the core including the brain.


When an individual is exposed to extremely low air temp the capillaries of the skin will dilate that blood will flush into skin capillary beds and heat will be dissipated?

When an individual is exposed to extremely low air temperatures, the body initially responds by constricting blood vessels to conserve heat. However, prolonged exposure can lead to skin capillary dilation in an attempt to regulate temperature. This process allows blood to flow into the skin's capillary beds, which can increase heat loss and potentially lead to hypothermia if not managed properly. Hence, while it may seem counterintuitive, this response can be a mechanism for the body to adapt to extreme cold conditions.


Why At the arteriole end of the capillary more fluid leaves the capillary than enters as a result of differences in what?

The reason fluid leaves at the arterial end of the capillary bed and returns to the venous end of the capillary bed is the difference in hydrostatic pressure. This means the pressure against the inside of the vessel is greater that the pressure on the outside of the vessel on the arterial end and vice-versa on the venous end. Also, loss of water at the arterial end very slightly raises the oncotic pressure on the venous end, although to what degree this adds to the return of fluid to the vasculature is unknown.
