The human body cannot function at temperatures much outside of the normal range of 37 degrees C. When significant deviations occur, the organs do not work properly and will end up shutting down, which can result in illness, pain, and death.

What are the intervals on a Fahrenheit scale called?
"Degrees". On the Celsius scale, each degree is 1/100th of the difference between the freezing point of water, and the boiling point of water. Dr. Fahrenheit was a medical doctor, not a scientist, so he was more concerned with human anatomy. The coldest thing he could fix as a standard temperature was the freezing point of a brine mixture in water. He devised the temperature scale with 100 degrees between the freezing point of his brine mixture and the temperature of the human body. (We now know that he was a little off; the normal temperature of a human body is 98.6 degrees rather than 100.)
