Increased blood flow to capillaries in the integumentary system suggests that the person's body temperature is higher than normal. When body temperature rises, blood vessels in the integumentary system dilate and become more superficial, leading to an increase in blood flow and a red or flushed appearance. This is the body's way of dissipating heat and regulating temperature.
