Quiz on how the body controls its temperature :)

?
The direct transfer of heat energy to another cooler material is:
Conduction
1 of 6
Where are the sphincter muscles located which control vasodilation/vasoconstriction?
Arterioles
2 of 6
Vasodilation causes more heat to be lost by:
Radiation
3 of 6
How does shivering help the human body to get warmer?
It causes the rate of respiration to increase so more heat energy is produced
4 of 6
When the human body is cold, the hairs become errect. This helps to reduce heat loss by:
Radiation and convection
5 of 6
The thermoregulatory response is controlled by the:
Sympathetic Nervous System
