In condition of high temperature, following does not occur or occurs at low level__________?

Correct answer: C. Thermogenesis

  • A. Vasodilation
  • B. Activation of sweat glands
  • C. Thermogenesis
  • D. Evaporative cooling

Explanation

At high temperature, the body reduces thermogenesis, or heat production, because producing more heat would raise body temperature further. Vasodilation, sweating and evaporative cooling are increased to remove heat, so the common mistake is choosing vasodilation while confusing heat loss with heat production.
