Chapter 5.8, Problem 24CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The type of muscle tissuethatacts an effector to regulate constriction and dilation of blood vessels.
Introduction:
The temperature of blood in the body is an integral part of homeostasis that helps to regulate the normal functioning of the body. In order to achieve the maximum output of work from the body, it is important for the internal temperature to remain within the homeostatic limits. The temperature of the blood is a result of the temperature prevailing in its surroundings.
