In module 1 you learned about homeostasis. what are four ways the skin an individual maintain thermoregulation? make sure you define homeostasis as part of your answer?

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium in the body. It is a process in which living organisms body maintain physical, chemical conditions balance or stability.

The skin help to maintain thermoregulation in four ways and they are;

Sweating: when there is much heat, the body tend to increase heat loss by producing sweat and causing sweating evaporation which help to maintain body temperature in the body.

Shivering: it occur when there is to much cold. When there is cold, the body try to maintain temperature stability by causing involuntary movement of muscles which intend lead to heat loss.

Vasoconstriction: the blood supply to skin help the skin in thermoregulation. When the blood vessels constricts, heat is retained and no heat loss.

Vasodilation: the skin regulate it body temperature through vasodilation. When the blood vessels that supply blood to the skin dilate, heat is loss.

not too sure but maybe in the hot springs.
