Question 1526 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Jasmine is a healthy girl who is playing outside. Her internal body temperature rises to 100.4°F (38°C).How does her body most likely respond to help her return to homeostasis?

Answer
A
by shivering
B
by sweating
C
by producing goosebumps
D
by making hair stand up

Explanation

When body temperature rises, the body helps cool itself by producing sweat. As sweat evaporates from the skin, it carries heat away and lowers body temperature toward its normal range. Shivering, goosebumps, and hairs standing up are responses that help conserve or generate heat, so they would not help with this temperature rise.
