Which outcome protects reindeer legs in extreme cold?

💡 Explanation

Countercurrent heat exchange warms arterial blood via venous blood, because heat transfers before reaching the foot. Therefore, extremities avoid freezing rather than experiencing unregulated heat loss; vasodilation elsewhere maintains core temperature.
