Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flushing is a response that helps to lose heat by increasing blood flow to the skin's surface. This increase in blood flow activates the eccrine glands, which produce sweat that helps to cool the body down. Option B (secretion of sebum) is not a mechanism for losing heat. Option C (contraction of the arrector pili muscles) is a mechanism for generating heat, not losing heat. Option D (constriction of the cutaneous blood vessels) would actually reduce blood flow to the skin and limit the body's ability to lose heat, so it is not the correct answer.
