Which outcome occurs when reindeer calves experience vasodilation during sub-zero temperatures?

A)Increased heat loss to environment
B)Enhanced insulation of extremities
C)Reduced brown fat metabolism rate
D)Decreased shivering energy expenditure

💡 Explanation

Increased blood flow near the skin surface during vasodilation transfers core heat to the periphery, because heat is readily dissipated in cold conditions; therefore, shivering may increase, rather than be bypassed, to maintain core temperature homeostasis.
