Slow heart rate

The final answer is Slow heart rate

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is Slow heart rate

More Information

Contraction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and high blood pressure are common responses to conserve body heat in cold environments. Slow heart rate, or bradycardia, doesn't contribute to preserving heat.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming that all physiological changes in cold water are aimed at heat conservation. It's important to differentiate those that directly influence heat retention.
