Matthew decided he wanted to hike up Mount Everest. On his way to the top, it began to snow and the temperature dropped to -10°F. Matthew forgot to wear a heavy jacket, so his body began to shiver beyond control. In this case, Matthew's body shivering is the ________ to a drop in temperature. A. reflex B. stimuli C. response D. environmental condition

Once the body has begun shivering, what happens to make it stop shivering? A) When body temperature returns to normal, the respiratory system sends a message to the skeletal system to stop shivering. B) When body temperature returns to normal, the nervous system sends a message to the muscular system to stop shivering. C) When body temperature is below normal, the nervous system sends a message to the skeletal system to stop shivering. D) When body temperature is below normal, the respiratory system sends a message to the muscular system to stop shivering.
