Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardiovascular system and the skin help maintain homeostasis by regulating body temperature. When the body overheats, the blood vessels that serve the skin dilate. The cardiovascular system rushes warm blood to the superificial capillaries of the skin. Heat from the blood radiates off of the skin's surface, cooling the body.
