The answer is:

  • Shivering
  • Contraction of blood vessels

Explanation for each option:

  1. Shivering: Correct. Shivering is a common response to a decrease in body temperature. It is an involuntary muscle activity that generates heat to help raise the body temperature.

  2. Profuse sweating: Incorrect. Profuse sweating is typically a response to an increase in body temperature as the body tries to cool down through evaporation.

  3. Flushed appearance: Incorrect. A flushed appearance is usually associated with an increase in body temperature, where blood vessels dilate to release heat.

  4. Dilation of blood vessels: Incorrect. Dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation) occurs when the body is trying to release heat, not when it is trying to conserve heat.

  5. Contraction of blood vessels: Correct. Contraction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) is a response to a decrease in body temperature. It helps to conserve heat by reducing blood flow to the skin.

Summary: When the body temperature decreases, shivering and contraction of blood vessels are observed as the body attempts to generate and conserve heat, respectively.
