Question

cold weather can cause blood vessels near the surface of the skin to constrict or become narrower. what will happen as a result of these blood vessels constricting​

Answer 1

They allow less blood to flow through the skin and conserve the core body temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Vasoconstriction happens when smooth muscles of blood vessels walls tighten making the blood vessels opening smaller.

• When blood vessels constrict less blood flows near the skin surface thus helps in conserving the body temperature.

• The human body maintains the temperature that enzymes work best at thus the vasoconstriction process has to take place to make sure that the body temperature is constant since enzymes work best at an optimum temperature.
