A)evaporative cooling (sweating and panting).
B)voiding urine.
C)drinking water.
D)nonshivering thermogenesis.
E)augmented muscular activity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physiological cooling in a hot, arid environment occurs through evaporative cooling, which involves sweating and panting. This allows the animal to dissipate excess heat and maintain a stable body temperature, even when the environmental temperature exceeds the body temperature. Voiding urine, drinking water, nonshivering thermogenesis, and augmented muscular activity do not directly contribute to physiological cooling in this context.
