Which outcome occurs when the rete mirabile experiences unrestricted vasodilation in arctic mammals?

💡 Explanation

Vasodilation within the rete mirabile facilitates heat transfer to cold venous blood returning from the periphery; because countercurrent exchange is bypassed, increased heat disperses. Core temperature falls therefore, rather than conserving heat caused by minimizing arteriovenous exchange.
