Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When exposed to a cold room, the body's response is to conserve heat by reducing blood flow to the skin's surface. This is called dermal vasoconstriction. It causes the blood vessels in the skin to narrow, reducing the amount of heat lost through the skin. This can result in temporary paleness or numbness of the skin.
