animals with substantial blood loss may experience _______, as well as rapid heart rate with weak peripheral pulses, rapid respiratory rate, and pale or white mucous membranes.

hypothermia

bradycardia

apnea

a decrease in crt

Explanation:

Hypothermia can occur due to blood - loss as blood plays a role in heat regulation. Bradycardia is slow heart rate, opposite of the rapid heart rate described. Apnea is lack of breathing which isn't indicated here. A decrease in CRT (capillary refill time) is not consistent with the symptoms of substantial blood loss. Substantial blood loss can lead to hypothermia.

Answer:

hypothermia
