1/6
,a. Nerves in the dermis cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict to regulate
heat loss.
b. Epidermal tissue prevents excess loss or absorption of water, which helps
keep body temperature stable.
c. The dermis expands or contracts to conserve or expel heat.
d. Epidermal blood vessels sense the skin temperature and constrict to con-
serve heat.: Nerves in the dermis cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict to regulate heat loss.
