Q

As your body temperature rises, what happens to your blood vessels and the blood they carry?

A

Your blood vessels open up, allowing blood to flow more easily, and decreases strain on your heart. As the blood temperature rises, it can hold on to less oxygen, releasing it for use by your muscles.
