Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When body temperature is higher than normal, blood flow to the skin is increased in order to cool down the body by releasing heat through sweat and radiation.

Note: B is incorrect because the primary function of perspiration is to regulate body temperature, not remove waste materials from the blood. C is incorrect because aging is usually associated with decreased melanin production, leading to gray hair and age spots. D is incorrect because a decrease in blood flow to the skin is associated with a feeling of coldness, not warmth.
