Elevating the tissue temperature results in an increase in blood flow to the area, attributable in part to the vasodilatory response in surface blood vessels. What mechanism normally prevents excessive heat accumulation?
A) The decreased blood flow removes heat from the area, and blood that is relatively cooler from the circulatory system flows into the area.
B) The increased blood flow moves heat into the area, and blood that is relatively warmer from the circulatory system flows into the area.
C) The increased blood flow removes heat from the area, and blood that is relatively warmer from the circulatory system flows into the area.
