Which result during prolonged elevated ambient heat when carotid rete experiences failure?

A)Brain overheating and neurological damage
B)Systemic shivering and heat generation
C)Decreased brown fat cell activity
D)Lowered metabolic rate and torpor

💡 Explanation

Restricted blood cooling in the carotid rete hampers thermoregulation via vasodilation; therefore, the brain overheats rather than maintaining safe temperatures, because functional blood vessel dilation is constrained and unable to reduce tissue temperatures.
