in mammals, an increase in the temperature of the preoptic area of the hypothalamus activates physiological mechanisms for heat
serious [3.7K]

True. In mammals, an increase in the temperature of the preoptic area of the hypothalamus activates physiological mechanisms for heat dissipation including vasodilation.

<h3>What is vasodilation?</h3>

Vasodilation, as it is known in medicine, occurs when blood vessels in your body open up, enabling more blood to flow through them and resulting in a reduction in blood pressure. Without your knowledge, your body goes through a routine procedure like this. It can also be brought on by the foods and beverages you consume as well as the drugs you take. Vasodilation may also be a sign of a particular illness.

The two of the many functions that your blood serves in the body:

  • Carrying oxygen and nutrients
  • Aiding in temperature regulation in your body.

Your body's blood arteries are more complex than simple tubes that remain constant in size. Your blood arteries include muscle as well, and that muscle regulates how wide or narrow they are at any particular time. Vasodilation occurs when blood vessels enlarge. Vasoconstriction is the opposite process, which occurs when blood vessels narrow and contract.

Why is the caloric value of some sugar alcohols less than 4 kcal/g? a. They cannot be transported into the mitochondria. b. None
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The sugar alcohols are the carbohydrates which are neither considered sugars nor alcohols but they partially resemble the structure of both of these sugars and alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are naturally present in the vegetables and fruits but they are also artificially synthesised like xylitol, lactitol, mannitol and others.

They are considered the alternative from of sugar but they provide less energy as compared to carbohydrates like they provide about 0-3 kcal per gram whereas sugar provides 4 kcal per gram.

This difference is due to the reason that they are not completely absorbed by the human body and also they are incompletely metabolized therefore provide less energy.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
