The following best describes the process of heat loss when a cooling blanket is applied to a
person with a high fever: correct answers Conduction.
(Heat is lost from the body by conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. These
processes are regulated by nervous and chemical activation of the sweat glands and by dilation
and constriction of the blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue. As the body needs to dissipate
heat, the blood vessels of the skin dilate, allowing more blood to come to the surface with a
resulting heat loss. Sweating also may occur. If the body needs to conserve heat (to warm us),
vasoconstriction and shivering may occur. Hormones may be secreted to augment the response.)
