1 part of 1 point
raynaud’s disease ______.
occurs primarily in association with injury to the spinal cord
is characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in the extremities
is induced by heat stress
is frequently life threatening

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Raynaud’s disease is not primarily associated with spinal cord injury (spinal cord injury - related vascular issues are different).
• Option 2: Raynaud’s disease is characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in extremities (fingers, toes) due to cold or stress, causing color changes/pain.
• Option 3: It is triggered by cold, not heat stress.
• Option 4: It is usually not life - threatening (mostly causes discomfort and tissue damage in severe, long - term cases but not frequently life - threatening).

Answer:

B. is characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in the extremities
