The skin also maintains homeostasis by regulating the body temperature. For instance, if the body temperature increases above normal, the blood vessels would dilate to increase the blood flow, and release the body heat. On the other hand, if the body temperature decreases below normal, the blood vessels would constrict to decrease the blood flow, and conserve the body heat.
