← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results following vasodilation across seal flippers?
A)Increased convectional heat loss rate✓
B)Decreased metabolic activity in muscle
C)Elevated core body temperature rise
D)Prevention of hypothermia in extreme weather
💡 Explanation
Vasodilation in seal's flippers causes increased blood flow to the surface. The conduction transfers more heat to environment initiating convection, therefore increasing heat loss, rather than retaining of warming; this happens because peripheral resistance decreases.
