← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results following damage disrupting hypothalamic temperature regulation?
A)Uncontrollable shivering without a fever✓
B)Increased brown fat mitochondrial uncoupling
C)Peripheral vasoconstriction reduces core temperature
D)Reduced release of thyroid stimulating hormone
💡 Explanation
When hypothalamic control is lost, the body may trigger shivering via muscle contractions, because its thermostat is broken; therefore, shivering happens continuously rather than in response to external cold, and no fever suppresses contractions.
