E)dilation of peripheral blood vessels

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slower respiration rate is not a response to heat, but rather a response to cold temperatures. When the body is cold, respiration slows down in order to conserve heat. The other options listed are all responses to heat. Increased sweating helps to cool the body through evaporative cooling, decreased rate of muscle activity reduces internal heat production, increased water loss through urination and sweating helps to regulate body temperature, and dilation of peripheral blood vessels allows for greater heat dissipation from the body's core.
