When the core body temperature rises, the peripheral vasculature dilates, specifically the small arterioles and capillaries under the skin. This is to help lose heat by conduction. You also will sweat, to lose heat by evaporation.
Temperature receptors are located throughout the skin. There are tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, beneath the skin. Those vessels not only bring blood to the skin, they exchange heat. Because the skin is in contact with the environment, heat or cold can travel through it and affect the temperature of the capillaries. The blood in these vessels then travels through the body and transfers that temperature change to larger blood vessels, the venules and arterioles. The venules and arterioles become veins (which take blood to the heart) and arteries (which take blood away from the heart) and continue exchanging heat, which ultimately changes the core temperature of the body.
They will allow the blood vessels to widen so that more heat loss can occur through evaporation. This is vasodilation.
The area of your brain that controls body temperature is called the hypothalamus.A) When the hypothalamus senses a rise in temperature, the body responds by activating cooling mechanisms such as:- increasing the activity of sweat glands resulting in a cooling effect- arterioles in the skin dilate allowing for skin capillaries to fill with blood. Heat is lost from the capillaries by radiation in order to cool you downB) When the hypothalamus senses a drop in temperature, the body responds by activating warming mechanisms such as:- constricting skin arterioles so that blood is diverted to deeper organs and tissues so that less heat is lost through radiation- stimulating skeletal muscles to begin shivering. This generates body heat and has a warming effect

It is because soil have some capillaries, which contains the air & air is bad conductor of heat, so it is warmer, means disallow the flow of heat. whereas in case of water no capillaries are there.
The body is attempting to get rid of excess heat. The capillaries get flushed with blood as it carries heat to the surface of the skin.

Applying ice to your ankle decreases the blood flow through nearby capillaries. This occurs because the capillaries constrict to conserve heat.
