Answer:

sweat and vasodilation

Explanation:

Hyperthermia is when the body is too hot. (Not to be confused with hypothermia, when the body in too cold).

When we sweat, we are releasing moisture, like little bits of water, onto our skin. The water uses up heat energy from the body to evaporate. Because the body loses heat energy, it cools.

Vasodilation is when blood vessels widen. When this happens, the blood vessels are closer to the surface of the skin, allowing heat to escape through and exit the body.

Shivering and vasoconstriction would help to keep a person warm. Shivering makes the muscles on the body move, which increases heat. (Think of exercise, but on a small scale).

Vasoconstriction keeps blood vessels away from the surface of the skin.

What are the steps for taking radial pulse?

wlad13 [49]

Have the person sit still with their hand resting stationery in a position below their heart. Locate their thumb and follow the Radius bone from the thumb toward their wrist. Just past their wrist use the pads of your index and middle finger to palpate the radius pulse just inside the radial bone on the distal end of the forearm. If you measure the pulse for 15 secs multiply by 4, 30 seconds multiply by 2, or measure a full minute to beats per minute. After an injury to an upper extremities, it is common to locate the radial pulse on both wrists at the same time to compare the strength of the pulse thus making sure circulation is good.
