These matching questions are all about thermoregulation. Question 3 options: When we want to conserve heat to stay warmer, do your arrector pili muscles contract or do they not contract? The blood vessels involved in thermoregulation are located in which layer of skin? To increase heat loss your body may do this to the blood vessels in your skin. When it does this, your skin looks more pink. When we want to lose more heat and cool off, what happens with your eccrine glands secretion? Do they secrete more or less? 1. contract 2. dermal 3. do not contract 4. epidermal 5. less 6. more 7. vasoconstrict 8. vasodilate
