Answer 4

One of the functions of the Integumentary System is the negative feedback, homeostatic control of the core body temperature. This is called "thermoregulation".

In conjunction with the integumentary system, the nervous (hypothalamus), cardiovascular (superficial vessels) and musclular systems (skeletal muscles) also play a role.

Core body temp is too cool

• Skin feels "cold" - brain is alerted to need for additional clothing.
• Goose bumps form - in furred or feathered animals this would provide a layer of insulation and warm air would be trapped in the "valleys" under the fur/feathers.
• Shivering occurs - involuntary muscle contractions produce heat.
• The skin will be pale as the superficial blood vessels move away from the surface in an effort to conserve heat (vasoconstriction).

Core body temp is too hot

• Skin feels warm to the touch - brain is alerted to need for cooling
• Perspiration/Evaporation occurs - heat is removed as the sweat evaporates leaving the skin feeling cool.
• The skin will be flushed as the superficial blood vessels come close to the surface in an effort to lose heat (vasodilation).
