51
Q

Which of the following correctly describes the carotid rete found in sheep and other ungulates?
A. The carotid artery takes a tortuous path to the brain and thus heat dissipates as it travels. By the time the blood reaches the brain, it has cooled sufficiently.
B. The carotid rete is a countercurrent mechanism between the jugular vein and carotid artery. The artery loses heat to the vein as blood flows in opposite directions.
C. The carotid artery forms a complex network of vessels that is bathed in a sinus of arterial blood that supplies the nasal cavity. The arterial blood is therefore colder due to exposure to the environment of the nasal cavities, thus the arterial blood transfers and loses heat to the cooler sinuses and the blood delivered to the brain is cooled prior to entering the brain.
D. The carotid artery forms a complex network of vessels that is bathed in a sinus of venous blood that has drained the nasal cavity. The venous blood is therefore colder than the arterial blood, thus the arterial blood transfers and loses heat to the cooler veins and the blood delivered to the brain is cooled prior to entering the brain.
