4) The temperature gradient between the skin and the air is regulated by cutaneous (skin) blood flow. When the vessels are dilated, more blood is brought to the surface. Suppose during dilation the skin warms from 72°F to 84°F a) Convert these temperatures to Celsius and find difference (show all your calculations) (no points will be awarded for solution with no steps)
