Question

When you are hot, blood vessels in the dermis ____________ in order to maintain homeostasis?

Answer 1

When a person is hot, the blood vessels in the dermis dilates, in order to maintain the homeostasis. When the temperature is increased, it becomes necessary to lose the body heat. This increased heat is lost by rushing the blood to the vessels present in the dermis layer. These blood vessels dilates so that more blood can flow inside these and the heat can be lost.

hence, the blank can be filled with 'dilate'.
