Summary Introduction

To review:

The mechanism by which the skin achieves thermoregulation.

Introduction:

Humans are hot-blooded animals, meaning they can manage the temperature of their bodies despite the changes in the temperature of the environment. This ability helps the body to function properly in different places with varying degrees of temperature, like from cold mountains to deserts. One of the organs responsible to achieve this function is the skin.
