As a result of vasodilation, these blood vessels have expanded or increased in diameter, thereby increasing amount of heat your hands are losing to the environment.b. As a result of vasodilation, these blood vessels have shrunk or contracted in diameter, thereby reducing the amount of heat your hands are losing to the environment.c. As a result of vasoconstriction, these blood vessels have shrunk or contracted in diameter, thereby reducing the amount of heat your hands are losing to the environment.d. As a result of vasoconstriction, these blood vessels have expanded or increased in diameter, thereby increasing the amount of heat your hands are losing to the environment.e.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Mammals are warm-blooded animals that are they need to maintain the internal temperature irrespective of the external temperature at a constant rate or 37° C.

In cold conditions the person exposing the body parts to cold conditions response either by producing heat or conserving the heat in the body.

If a person removes the gloves, then a physiological change leads to the change in the diameter of the blood vessels. The diameter of the blood vessels reduces which reduces the loss of heat from the body as constriction of the blood vessels decreases the surface area to be exposed to cold conditions.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

How do scientists uncover evironmental problems
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Science has a central role in shaping what count as environmental problems. This has been evident most recently in the success of planetary science and environmental activism in stimulating awareness and discussion of global environmental problems. We advance three propositions about the special relationship between environmental science and politics: (1) in the formulation of science, not just in its application, certain courses of action are facilitated over others; (2) in global environmental discourse, moral and technocratic views of social action have been privileged; and (3) global environmental change, as science and movement ideology, is vulnerable to deconstructive pressures. These stem from different nations and differentiated social groups within nations having different interests in causing and alleviating environmental problems. We develop these propositions through a reconstruction of The Limits to Growth study of the early 1970s, make extensions to current studies of the human/social impacts of climate change, and review current sources of opposition to global and political formulations of environmental issues.
