Vasoconstriction and vasodilation correspond to long term adaptations to extremely hot and cold environments respectively. Ture or False

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ False ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Vasoconstriction and vasodilation are primarily short-term mechanisms: Vasoconstriction reduces blood flow to conserve heat in cold environments, while vasodilation increases blood flow to release excess heat in hot environments. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Long-term adaptations: These involve more permanent physiological changes such as increased body hair or fat for insulation in cold climates, or increased sweat glands in hot climates. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Vasoconstriction and vasodilation are short-term physiological responses to temperature changes, not long-term adaptations. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Long-term adaptations to climate involve structural and functional changes that occur over generations, not immediate responses like vasoconstriction and vasodilation. ⚹◊Is the mechanism of vasoconstriction and vasodilation regulated by the autonomic nervous system in response to temperature changes?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
