Local temperature may tune skin vasomotor magnitude without changing pattern; leaves open integrated control mechanisms in human thermoregulation.
How do local and reflex influences interact to affect human forearm skin blood flow?
Local temperature changes modify the magnitude but not the overall pattern of reflex skin vasomotor responses in humans.
Johnson et al. (1976) studied this question.
