The skin is usually at a lower temperature than the body’s core temperature (37 °C). What is the reason for this?

  1. The layer of adipose tissue in the hypodermis insulates the skin from the core temperature.
  2. The sweating mechanism is able to lower the skin’s temperature.
  3. Vasoconstriction restricts the amount of blood that is brought close to the skin surface.
  4. Heat loss through conduction, convection and radiation keeps the skin at a lower temperature.
