A 28-year-old woman has a fever of 40°C as a result of influenza. Which of the following is likely to occur during the fever? A. Cutaneous vasoconstriction B. Reduction of hypothalamic set-point temperature C. Decrease in shivering D. Increase in sweating E. Strong subjective sensation of increased heat
Can you please explain the whole process to me? Thanks again
Ok 😊 Fever elevates the hypothalamic set-point temperature, activating heat conservation responses, which include cutaneous vasoconstriction. Sweating is inhibited, and shivering occurs. There is a strong subjective sensation of cold, leading to behavioral efforts to warm the body such as pulling on blankets.
No, The body cannot even sweat at this point because blood flow to the skin stops, making it feel cold and clammy. So the right answer is A.
