Which outcome occurs when a marine mammal's deep dive triggers bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction besides the diving reflex?

💡 Explanation

When marine mammals dive, peripheral vasoconstriction occurs because blood flow is reduced to extremities, prioritizing oxygen delivery to vital organs like the brain and heart via redistribution. Therefore, oxygen reserves get prolonged, rather than muscle acidosis, better buoyancy, or efficient thermal exchange which counteracts heat loss prevention.
