Common mistake
Understanding Responses to Cold
Students often confuse vasoconstriction with vasodilation, thinking both processes occur when body temperature is too low.
Remember that vasoconstriction narrows blood vessels to reduce heat loss, while vasodilation widens them to increase heat loss. Focus on the specific conditions that trigger each response.
