Which outcome occurs when large mammals experience prolonged cold water exposure?

💡 Explanation

Skeletal muscle shivering thermogenesis increases rapidly because rapid muscle contractions generate heat. Shivering is a reflex to elevate body temperature by converting energy into heat, rather than relying on conduction through vasoconstriction; therefore, maintaining core temperature is prioritized.
