Question 1 Report

Which of the following conditions will cause a decrease in body temperature?
Answer Details
Relaxation of the erector muscles will cause a decrease in body temperature. These muscles are responsible for the raising of body hairs, which traps a layer of insulating air next to the skin. This layer of air helps to reduce heat loss from the body. When the erector muscles relax, the hairs lie flat, and the insulating layer is lost. This leads to an increase in heat loss from the skin to the environment, resulting in a decrease in body temperature.
