← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome impairs arousal from torpor despite sufficient hypothalamic triggers?
A)Mitochondrial uncoupling in brown fat
B)Calcium channel dysfunction in heart✓
C)Peripheral vasodilation causing hemorrhage
D)Cortisol inhibiting glucogenesis activation
💡 Explanation
When temperatures reach minimum during hibernation, cardiac calcium ion mobilization declines due to prolonged metabolic slow-down. Therefore calcium channel dysfunction impairs efficient heart reactivation, rather than uncoupling, vasodilation or cortisol influence which are more relevant to gradual rewarming during euthermia.
