- Too hot
- Sweat glands in the skin
release more sweat, which
evaporates, removing heat
energy from the skin
- Blood vessels leading to the
skin capillaries become
wider (dilate) allowing
more blood to flow through
the skin, and more heat to
be lost

of which releases heat
- Blood vessels leading to skin
capillaries narrow, letting
less blood flow to the skin
and conserving body heat
- Muscles contract rapidly
