The circulatory system helps to maintain a stable body temperature as you exercise. Which statement best describes this process?



Answers:

Heat produced by the muscles is absorbed by the surrounding blood, where it cools.

Blood carries excess heat from the muscles to the skin, which allows heat to escape.

The circulatory and lymphatic systems work together to remove heat from the muscles.

Excess heat from the muscles is transported to the heart and lungs, where it cools.

Answer:

The correct answer is: B) Blood carries excess heat from the muscles to the skin, which allows heat to escape.

Explanation:

The circulatory system is a system of organs very important to the body. It is composed of the heart, the lungs, and the blood vessels (arteries and veins).

The circulatory system has the function to transport blood and oxygen to the entirety of the body. If our organs do not receive blood and oxygen, they cannot function and will eventually die.

Skin is the largest organ in the human body and has many functions, one of them is regulating body temperature by 1) shivering to contract the blood vessels when it's cold, and 2) sweating to increase the blood flow when it's hot.
