← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a seal suddenly enters warm water?
A)Peripheral vasodilation reduces core temperature✓
B)Metabolic rate sharply decreases initially
C)Shivering maintains stable body temperature
D)Brown fat thermogenesis generates heat
💡 Explanation
Peripheral vasodilation causes heat loss because blood vessels near the skin surface dilate, therefore heat dissipates into the warmer water, rather than being conserved as in cold conditions when vasoconstriction dominates.
