Summary 2: Body Temperature Decreases

In addition to decreased blood flow to the skin, reduced perspiration and flattened hair, other involuntary actions such as shivering and increased metabolic activity of the liver can occur.

There are also other voluntary actions that the person may take to increase his body temperature such as:
• Wearing a warm clothing
• Switching on a heater
• Rubbing his hands, arms or legs

Both the involuntary and voluntary actions work to bring about the desired outcome, which is to increase the body temperature.
