The widening of blood vessels. It increases blood flow near skin, which decreases heat loss

b)

The widening of blood vessels. It increases blood flow near skin, which increases heat loss

c)

The narrowing of blood vessels. It reduces blood flow near skin, which reduces heat loss

d)

The narrowing of blood vessels. It reduces blood flow near skin, which increases heat loss

14.

Why does shivering INCREASE our body temperature

a)

As sweat evaporates heat is lost along with the moisture

b)

Our muscles contract more rapidly producing energy and heat

c)

Our blood flows closer to the surface of the skin so more heat is lost

d)

Our blood flows further away from the surface of the skin so less heat is lost

15.
