Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cutaneous blood vessels and sweat glands are responsible for decreasing body temperature during a heat response. Cutaneous blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the skin, allowing heat to be dissipated, while sweat glands produce sweat that helps cool the skin through the process of evaporation. Baroreceptors and stretch receptors are not involved in the response to increased body temperature.
