Which consequence results when shivering thermogenesis efficiency drops sharply?

💡 Explanation

Hypothermia develops because ineffective shivering increases metabolic demands without commensurate heat production; the lack of thermoregulation via shivering causes dangerous energy deficit, therefore, leading to hypothermia, rather than rhythmic stability or vasodilation-driven warming.
