Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So to maintain homeostasis, which of the following is a response to hot temperature as answered to is a, we have vasal dilation. The vasal construction c hair, erect, muscle contraction, the increased metabolic rate. So in order to solve this problem, let's think about what is going to happen when we're getting hot. Most of these heat is going to be stored within the body, for example, in our blood. So one thing that our body is going to do is undergo a process called vassal dilation. Now, in vasodilation, we're going to have blood vessels located near the skin's surface. These blood vessels are going to dilate. This is why it's called vaso dilation. And by dilating, they're going to allow more blood to travel near the skin surface. And by doing this heat can be lost. So by losing heat, we're going to be able to decrease the effect that this hot temperature is going to have in the body, we're going to be undergoing homeostasis. So vaso dilation is going to be the process that we undergo for this. So answer choice. A vaso dilation is the final answer for this question. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next video.
