Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The skin’s immense blood supply helps regulate temperature: dilated vessels allow for heat loss, while constricted vessels retain heat. The skin regulates body temperature with its blood supply. The skin assists in homeostasis. Humidity affects thermoregulation by limiting sweat evaporation and thus heat loss.

Detailed explanation-2: -The skin helps to regulate body temperature by producing perspiration and adjusting blood flow to the dermis. Stimulation of neurons in the skin gives rise to tactile sensations, thermal sensations, and pain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Produces sweat: Sweat glands in the dermis release sweat through skin pores. Sweat helps regulate your body temperature. Supplies blood: Blood vessels in the dermis provide nutrients to the epidermis, keeping the skin layers healthy.
