← Nature & AnimalsIn endothermic mammals, which short-term outcome occurs during overheating due to vasodilation?
A)Increased convective heat loss.✓
B)Reduced metabolic heat production.
C)Enhanced countercurrent heat exchange.
D)Decreased evaporative heat loss.
💡 Explanation
Increased convective heat loss occurs because vasodilation causes increased blood flow to the skin, therefore enhancing transfer to environment, rather than reducing metabolism or decreasing moisture transfer via countercurrent exchange and evaporation.
