Question

10. How does the body attempt to cope with hyperthermia? A) by reducing heat loss by radiation and convection B) by increasing muscular activity C) with peripheral vasodilation and sweating D) with peripheral vasoconstriction and shivering

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) with peripheral vasodilation and sweating.When the body experiences hyperthermia, or an elevated body temperature, it attempts to cope by initiating mechanisms to dissipate excess heat. Peripheral vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels near the skin's surface, which increases blood flow and promotes heat loss through the skin. Sweating is another mechanism the body uses to cool down; as sweat evaporates from the skin, it helps to dissipate heat and lower the body temperature.
