Likewise, if you wanted to raise body temperature, vasoconstriction reduces blood flow, which means less heat gets lost through the surface of the skin.
Well, all land plants lose water when the pores on their leaves open up during photosynthesis, and this evaporation draws more water up through their stems.
It seems that heat loss - the total heat transferred away from something, is linked to the surface area or total area of the body's outer surfaces when exposed to the cold.
A large surface area to volume ratio also helps to keep them cool because heat has more places to escape from, but camels have adapted to tolerate body temperatures of up to 42 degrees Celsius.
According to this view, heat loss - meaning the total amount of heat transferred away from something through its surface, is proportional to body surface area.
