B)skin vasodilation
C)nonshivering thermogenesis
D)increased muscle tone
E)increased exercise

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skin vasodilation actually results in heat loss, as it involves the dilation of blood vessels near the skin's surface, allowing heat to escape. The other options listed are all ways to increase or conserve heat production in the body. Shivering generates heat by rapidly contracting muscles, nonshivering thermogenesis involves the production of heat through metabolic processes in brown adipose tissue, increased muscle tone generates heat through muscle contractions, and increased exercise increases metabolic heat production.
