Questions and Answers

What is vasodilation?

  • Contraction of blood vessels in the skin reducing blood supply
  • Process of cooling down the body temperature
  • Narrowing of blood vessels causing reduction in blood supply to the skin
  • Dilation of blood vessels in the skin leading to increased blood supply (correct)
  • How does vasoconstriction contribute to body temperature regulation?

  • It has no impact on body temperature regulation
  • It reduces blood supply to the skin, conserving heat in the body (correct)
  • It increases blood supply to the skin, releasing heat from the body
  • It dilates blood vessels, leading to cooling down of the body
  • Which process leads to a decrease in blood supply to the skin?

  • Vasodilation
