Question 6 • Personal Care Services

What is one of the ways in which the skin cools the body?

Answer
A
decreasing the body's melanin
B
dilating surface blood vessels
C
sending more collagen to the cells
D
creating extra keratin

Explanation

When the body is too warm, blood vessels near the skin’s surface widen, or dilate. This brings more warm blood close to the skin, allowing heat to escape to the surroundings. Decreasing melanin, sending more collagen to cells, and creating extra keratin are not ways the skin cools the body.
