What happens to your body in extreme cold?

Answer 1

When the body is in a cold environment, most of the body's energy is used to keep your internal temperature warm. Over time, your body will begin to shift blood from the extremities (hands, feet) and outer skin to the core (center) of the body.This process allows the exposed skin to cool rapidly and increases the risk of frost-bite.

Answer 2

Your body sometimes controls itself such as blinking or breathing. When you get cold enough, your body contracts and releases muscles at a rapid rate in hope to create heat from friction. If this fails, your body will cut off circulation to limbs such as toes and fingers to reserve energy to heat your core and protect vital organs like lungs and heart. If this fails, what nerves you have left will missfire and give you the feeling of becoming extremely warm to strip you of your clothes or try to become colder to finish yourself off so you dont suffer as long.

Answer 3

1. It takes your body a bit longer to heat up, and your brain is telling you it's cold, and some people shake or shiver or lose feeling in your toes or fingers.

Answer 4

you shiver you get goosebumps your teeth chatter BUT WHAT ELSE????????!?!!!!!!!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!

Your blood vessels constrict, causing less blood to flow through your extremities. This helps keep your core body temperature high.

Answer 5

The way that skin responds when feeling cold is that your pours on your skin show more often than it should. It depends on what kind of skin type you are. N.B It does not really affect your skin its just a bit out of the condition its use to. This also happens when your skin soaks/bathes in cold water.

Answer 6

Shivering is an involuntary muscle contraction which generates heat.

Answer 7

Your body will start to shut down in extremely cold temperatures. You may get frostbite and lose feeling and circulation in your arms and legs.
