← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism reduces heat loss in arctic mammals initiating shivering thermogenesis?
A)Increased blood flow via vasodilation Inhibition
B)Peripheral vasoconstriction of blood vessels✓
C)Accelerated brown fat metabolism increase
D)Elevated sweating gland active transport
💡 Explanation
When arctic mammals initiate shivering, peripheral vasoconstriction limits blood flow to extremities by decreasing capillary size, minimizing heat transfer to the environment, because metabolic heart source is lower. Therefore vasoconstriction reduces heat, rather than vasodilation, brown fat increase require stimulus, of active sweating transports less heat.
