Which of the Following is Not a Way to Conserve

Question

Which of the following is not a way to conserve or generate heat?
A) shivering thermogenesis
B) nonshivering thermogenesis
C) vasoconstriction in the skin
D) increasing the depth of respirations
E) release of thyroxine

Accepted Answer

Increasing the depth of respirations is a way to increase oxygen intake, but it does not directly conserve or generate heat. Shivering thermogenesis, nonshivering thermogenesis, vasoconstriction in the skin, and release of thyroxine are all mechanisms that help conserve or generate heat in the body.
