How do the muscles affect regulation of body temperature? 

• Errector pili muscles make hair stand up
• Shivering increases heat
• Muscles do not help regulate body temperature 
• Shivering decreases heat

What do blood vessels do to help with thermoregulation ? 

• Dilate to make the blood vessels smaller  so blood can flow faster 
• Constrict to make the blood vessels smaller  so blood can stay close to core

Why do blood vessels dilate? 

• To keep the blood close to heart 
• So the heat can be transported to the skin for evaporation

• solar feedback loop
• positive feedback loop
• negative feedback loop
