The medical billing process is not undertaken by a single individual. Medical coding involves front office administrators, such as receptionists, as well as back office staff, including the medical biller and coder. It is important to understand every step of this process if you intend to pursue a career in medical billing and coding. For the purposes of this lesson, we will cover the end-to-end process of medical billing as a whole, and not just the responsibilities of the biller and coder.
The primary job of medical billing specialists is to:
Understand each individual’s responsibility for payment, as they may differ from patient to patient
Evaluate and analyze insurance coverage and medical charges, and prepare accurate billing forms
Collect accurate payments from insurance plans and/or individual patients
These three primary tasks require many specific responsibilities within the medical billing process. In this course we will break down these responsibilities into a series of steps that begins when a patient schedules an appointment and ends when reimbursement is collected from the insurance company and/or patient.

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.
