Which effect facilitates heat dissipation when a mammal's core temperature rises above homeostatic levels?

💡 Explanation

When body temperature rises, peripheral vasodilation occurs because the nervous system signals blood vessels near the skin surface to widen, increasing blood flow to the skin. The increased perfusion facilitates heat transfer to the environment. Therefore increased skin perfusion results, rather than conserving heat, increasing metabolism, or BAT activation which serve heat generation purposes.
