Which physiological outcome occurs when a mammal's core temperature rises above its thermoneutral zone limits?

💡 Explanation

When core temperature rises, cutaneous vasodilation increases convective heat transfer near the skin surface because of enhanced blood flow, facilitating heat dissipation. Therefore conductive heat loss is promoted, rather than shivering or thermogenesis, which generate heat, or vasoconstriction, which conserves heat.
