← Nature & AnimalsWhich result during prolonged elevated ambient heat when carotid rete experiences failure?
A)Brain overheating and neurological damage✓
B)Systemic shivering and heat generation
C)Decreased brown fat cell activity
D)Lowered metabolic rate and torpor
💡 Explanation
Restricted blood cooling in the carotid rete hampers thermoregulation via vasodilation; therefore, the brain overheats rather than maintaining safe temperatures, because functional blood vessel dilation is constrained and unable to reduce tissue temperatures.
