-Countercurrent heat exchangers are more useful for ________.
A) ectotherms to permit them to maintain constant body temperature
B) ectotherms to allow their body temperature to match the environment
C) endotherms to allow the body's core temperature to remain stable
D) endotherms to allow their extremities to remain at an elevated body temperature in the cold
E) poikilotherms that need to have different body temperatures

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Countercurrent heat exchangers are more useful for endotherms to maintain a stable core temperature by minimizing heat loss, especially in cold environments.
