← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk dramatically increases when arctic fox footpads experience prolonged vasodilation?
A)Exceeding energy reserve thresholds rapidly
B)Localized tissue hypothermia development✓
C)Reduced evaporative heat dissipation rates
D)Generating irreversible neuron degradation
💡 Explanation
Localized tissue hypothermia develops because vasodilation increases blood flow, causing excessive heat loss to the icy ground when temperatures are extremely low; therefore, tissue chills more, rather than conserving warmth, leading to frostbite.
