Heat loss is promoted by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweating and dilation of cutaneous blood vessels both promote heat loss by increasing the amount of heat that can be dissipated through the skin. Nonshivering thermogenesis, on the other hand, is a process that generates heat and actually counters heat loss. Therefore, option E is incorrect. Option A is only partially correct since sweating alone promotes heat loss, but it does not involve dilation of blood vessels. Option B is incorrect since dilation of blood vessels alone does not involve sweating.
