What is the body's response to a rise in temperature above 37.0 degrees C?

A. Blood vessels in the skin begin to constrict which increases blood flow to the surface of the skin. Environmental variables will help decrease the temperature of the blood. The nervous system also activates the sweat glands which help decrease temperature. B. Blood vessels in the skin begin to dilate which increases blood flow to the surface of the skin. Environmental variables will help decrease the temperature of the blood. The heart rate decreases in an attempt to slow down blood flow. C.
