← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect directly increases when vasodilation occurs in mammalian brown adipose tissue (BAT) during cold exposure?
A)Systemic blood pressure elevation
B)Heat dissipation to peripheral tissues✓
C)Skeletal muscle glucose uptake rate
D)Cardiac output stroke volume reduction
💡 Explanation
When cold exposure stimulates BAT, vasodilation increases blood flow to the tissue because sympathetic activation of beta-adrenergic receptors relax blood vessels, leading to increased convective heat transfer. Therefore, heat dissipation to peripheral tissue increases rather than pressure elevation, glucose uptake, or reduced cardiac output, which relate to different physiological pathways.
