The inflammatory response increases the temperature of a skin cell above its normal range. this prevents the cell from quickly performing certain enzyme-catalyzed reactions. why would this occur?

high temperatures denature the enzyme, slowing the reaction.
high temperatures denature the substrate, slowing the reaction.
high temperatures denature the enzyme, ending the reaction.
high temperatures denature the substrate, ending the reaction.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
