hypothermia vs hyperthermia Flashcards
1
Q
hypo
A
low body temperature levels, narrowing of blood vessels to keep heat constricted so heat is retained, via vasoconstriction
2
Q
hyper
A
too high body temperature, blood vessels dilate allowing heat to transfer to the surface of the skin leading to heat loss, via vasodilation
