Which of the following skin reactions functions to cool down the body temperature? skin blood vessel dilation contraction of arrector pili muscles both of the above neither of the above
Added by Cesar T.
Step 1
- Skin blood vessel dilation: This reaction allows more blood to flow near the surface of the skin, which helps in dissipating heat and cooling down the body temperature. - Contraction of arrector pili muscles: This reaction causes the hair to stand up, creating a Show more…
