Question 40 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Karin was exposed to extremely cold temperatures and was diagnosed with a homeostatic disorder. Which symptoms does she most likely have?

Answer
A
frequent thirst and urination
B
decreased heart rate and memory loss
C
blurred vision and high blood sugar
D
hot, itchy skin and nausea

Explanation

Exposure to extreme cold can cause hypothermia, a disruption of the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal temperature. As body temperature falls, heart rate may slow, and the brain can be affected, causing confusion or memory problems. Decreased heart rate and memory loss best match Karin’s likely symptoms.
