Answer:

sweat and vasodilation

Explanation:

Hyperthermia is when the body is too hot. (Not to be confused with hypothermia, when the body in too cold).

When we sweat, we are releasing moisture, like little bits of water, onto our skin. The water uses up heat energy from the body to evaporate. Because the body loses heat energy, it cools.

Vasodilation is when blood vessels widen. When this happens, the blood vessels are closer to the surface of the skin, allowing heat to escape through and exit the body.

Shivering and vasoconstriction would help to keep a person warm. Shivering makes the muscles on the body move, which increases heat. (Think of exercise, but on a small scale).

Vasoconstriction keeps blood vessels away from the surface of the skin.

Answer:

A. open the belly cavity

Explanation:

Step 1: Lay the rabbit on it's back with it's hind legs facing you. Separate a hind leg by cutting along the seam of the thigh muscle until you expose the leg joint. Push the leg back until the joint separates.

Step 2: Follow through with your knife, making a few small cuts to remove the leg. Repeat on the other side.

Step 3: Lift a forequarter by the elbow joint and cut all around the shoulder area until the leg comes off—it should separate easily. Repeat with the other forequarter.

Step 4: Flip the rabbit belly side down. Run your knife along either side of the spine and down the rib cage to release a bit of each loin; then you can pull away the rest of it—the belly flaps will remain attached to the carcass. Cut each loin in half.
