Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Decreased body temperature (hypothermia) causes a leftward shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, i.e. increases hemoglobin affinity for oxygen, whereas increased body temperature (hyperthermia) causes a rightward shift, i.e. decreases hemoglobin affinity for oxygen [8].
