When the warmth-sensitive receptors of the hypothalamus are stimulated,what physiological processes would be initiated?

A) Shivering and vasoconstriction
B) Peripheral vasodilation and shivering
C) Sweating and peripheral vasodilation
D) Sweating and vasoconstriction

Warmth-Sensitive Receptors

Sensory receptors in the skin and other organs that detect changes in temperature, particularly increases in warmth.

Hypothalamus

A region of the brain that plays a crucial role in hormone production, regulating bodily functions such as temperature, hunger, and sleep cycles.

Peripheral Vasodilation

The widening of blood vessels away from the heart, typically in the limbs, reducing blood pressure and increasing blood flow.
