Which of the following situations would MOST likely cause a human to collapse from overheating? Select the BEST answer from the choices provided below. O High temperature, low vapor pressure deficit O High temperature, low relative humidity O High temperature, low vapor pressure O All of these situations create similarly high risk for heat-related collapse.

A house is launched into space, wearing a suit that provides it with oxygen but very little insulation. Estimate how long it will take the cow to radiate enough heat to lower its body temperature by 3 degree, wherein hypothermia will begin to set in.
Temperature and wind combine to cause heat loss. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature falls more than 4 degrees F below normal. Death can occur if hypothermia persists for over 3 hours. According to the chart, in which of the following temperature and wind combinations would the body temperature be the lowest and a person most at risk for developing hypothermia?
Which of the following is the only option that is not true for non-shivering thermogenesis? Group of answer choices Activated in cold environments Uses metabolic heat Organic molecules are used to make heat without ATP Happens in muscle cells
What is thermoregulation and why is it necessary for the human body to function properly? List two physiological responses the human body takes to when its core temperature gets too high. Briefly explain how each works to reduce core temperature. Explain why one of these responses will not work if the air temperature is extremely high. Explain why one of these responses will not work if the relative humidity is extremely high.
Stimulation of the heat loss center causes what blood vessels in the skin to constrict breathing to become slower and shallow or sweat glands to increase their output
Astronauts during the Apollo Mission to the Moon in 1969 experiences weightlessness due to due to the lesser gravity of the Moon than theEarth. What do you think are the adverse effects of microgravity to the human body?
The rate at which an animal uses energy is calleda. body mass index.b. the animal’s energy consumption.c. metabolic rate.d. nonshivering thermogenesis.e. shivering thermogenesis
(a) Write down an equation expressing the thermal balance between the human bodyand its environment.(b) Under what conditions is the temperature of the deep tissues of the human bodygoing to change? Discuss the physiological mechanisms which the body employs to adjustsuch an imbalance. How can the air conditioning engineer, through an appropriate manipulationof the environment, assist the body in feeling comfortable?
Heat exchange with the environment depends on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the body. Assuming that the body shape of an animal is at least somewhat spherical, a considerable decrease in body size would _______ the surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to exchange heat with the environment would _______. A. increase; increase B. increase; stay about the same C. increase; decrease D. decrease; increase E. decrease; stay about the same
An animal living in a cold environment loses heat at a rate that is proportional to its surface area, but its metabolism generates heat in all of its cells, so the rate of heat generation is proportional to its volume. All other factors being equal (which they often are not!), which implications would follow from these facts? Choose all correct responses. Because it is smaller, a baby seal is more at risk for hypothermia (body temperature falling to too low a value) than is an adult when it is in an ocean significantly colder than its body temperature. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it more warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it less warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, how cold it feels to you is a good measure of how warmly you should dress that baby. Because it is smaller, a baby seal is less at…
Given that humans thermoregulate, explain why your skin is coolerthan your body core.
