Why do people go pale when they are cold?

1 answer:

3 0

People get pale when they’re cold because your body is trying to conserve heat. Heat is nessecary to maintain homeostasis, and in a response to this, your blood vessels in your skin constrict (get smaller), so less blood goes to your skin, so that your body can redirect the blood to your core, where all the good stuff is like your organs.

Blood is what makes our skin a pinkish color, if white people did not have blood, we would look like vampires. When there is less blood in your skin, the pink color goes away and leaves a pale white.

I hope this helps!

Explanation:

Coracobrachialis muscle is one of the essential muscles that is responsible for the movement of elbow along with biceps brachii and triceps muscles.

The coracobrachialis arises from the coracoid process of the scapula. It assists the elbow in flexion and internal rotation. Musculocutaneous nerve passes through the Coracobrachialis muscle and terminates at the lateral end of the cutaneous nerve of the forearm. However, the Coracobrachialis terminates at the humerus and its medial surface

Hence, option C is correct

Mark turned quickly, pivoting on his right foot, while he was playing basketball. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his knee and f

Contact [7]

The correct answer is that he has injured one of the tendons or ligaments that help keep his knee in place, connecting it to the surrounding muscle and bone. As a result of this injury, his knee is no longer connected to the muscle and bone, thus it wobbled sideways when he started walking. He needs to go to a doctor immediately who can fix his knee so as to prevent further complications - he just needs his knee to be set in place again.
