Which tissue effect results when peripheral blood flow in a hibernating groundhog shifts dramatically?

💡 Explanation

Local hypothermia becomes a risk, because redistribution restricts heat delivery; the mechanism is peripheral vasoconstriction decreasing oxygenated blood flow into extremities. Therefore extremities cool faster, rather than remaining metabolically active, supplied fully with glycogenolysis substrates or unchanged by hibernation physiology .
