Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 4
Practice objective / multiple choice question 4 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
During prolonged exercise the body produces metabolic heat that raises core temperature at a rate of \(1.2^{\circ}\text{C h}^{-1}\). Heat is removed by sweating and by cutaneous vasodilation. The rate of heat loss by sweating is \(0.8^{\circ}\text{C h}^{-1}\) for each degree that the core temperature exceeds the normal set‑point of \(37^{\circ}\text{C}\). Vasodilation removes heat at \(0.5^{\circ}\text{C h}^{-1}\) per degree above the set‑point. Assuming steady‑state is reached, what is the core temperature (to one decimal place) at which heat production equals heat loss?
