Which vascular outcome occurs when a basking iguana overheats?

💡 Explanation

Thermoregulation of the iguana relies on dermal vasodilation; arteries near the skin's surface dilate, increasing blood flow. Therefore, heat dissipates more effectively, rather than oxygen diffusing faster or viscosity increasing which would hinder heat loss from the iguana's extremity.
