Explanation:

When body temperature rises too high, the body initiates several responses for homeostasis. Blood vessels near the skin surface dilate (vasodilation) to allow more blood to flow close to the surface, facilitating heat loss to the environment. Sweat glands are activated to produce sweat. As sweat evaporates from the skin surface, it takes heat away with it, cooling the body. The hypothalamus, the body's thermostat, detects the temperature change and triggers these responses to bring the body temperature back to the normal range.

Answer:

When body temperature rises too high, blood vessels near the skin dilate for heat - loss and sweat glands produce sweat which cools the body through evaporation, all triggered by the hypothalamus to restore normal temperature.
