← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a fox’s body temperature exceeds its normal range, causing peripheral vasodilation amidst intense sun exposure?
A)Enhanced convective heat dissipation occurs rapidly✓
B)Metabolic rate increases due to thermogenesis
C)Hypothalamus triggers thyroid hormone production
D)Pilomotor muscles induce trapping of hair
💡 Explanation
When the fox overheats, vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin's surface; therefore, convective heat dissipation occurs to release heat, because thermal gradient drive dissipation, rather than the alternatives being metabolic consequences or muscle action.
