Which effect results when a hibernating arctic ground squirrel prematurely experiences increased local blood flow?

💡 Explanation

When local blood flow increases in a hibernating arctic ground squirrel, vasodilation occurs causing elevated oxygen delivery because diffusion gradients increase activating stored white cells, leading to the localized formation of inflammation. Therefore inflammation results, rather than reduced warming, muscle atrpphy or reduced torpor, which represent alternative biological processes.
