In the case of heat stroke, one emergency treatment is to __________. - immerse the person in an ice bath - place the person in a high humidity environment - do nothing, because heat stroke cannot lead to death - attempt to medically get the thermoregulatory system working

immerse the person in an ice bath

The main difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke is that heat stroke involves a(n) __________. - improper functioning of the regulatory system controlling blood sugar, since a diabetic sometimes urinates too much - enhanced ability of the thermoreceptors - proper functioning of the thermoregulatory system - improper functioning of the thermoregulatory system, most importantly the integrating center

improper functioning of the thermoregulatory system, most importantly the integrating center

inability
