Which mechanism causes overheating when an arctic fox increases peripheral vasodilation in summer?

💡 Explanation

When an arctic fox increases peripheral vasodilation in summer, countercurrent heat exchange efficiency within limbs decreases, because blood moving to extremities loses heat rapidly. Therefore reduced countercurrent exchange results, causing the fox body core to absorb heat, rather than increased metabolism, reduced cooling efficiency or setpoint change, which are unrelated.
