Which mechanism causes increased heat loss when marine mammals ascend rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Increased heat loss occurs due to peripheral vasodilation, where blood flow to the skin increases to dissipate core heat; therefore, heat is lost rapidly, rather than conserved as would happen via countercurrent exchange in normal conditions.
