The human body relies on chemical reactions to turn the food you consume into energy. The food you consume also goes into the production of cells inside your body. These processed require chemical reactions. There are two chemical reactions, endothermic and exothermic. Endothermic reactions require energy. Your "body temperature" fuels these reaction as heat is a form of energy. Exothermic reactions give off energy. Your body temperature is created from this type of reaction.
As your core temperature lowers, as in hypothermia, the chemical processes in your body slow down, due to the lack of energy. Eventually it reaches a point to where the processed come to a stop. At that point, your brain is no longer able to send electrical impulses to your heart.
What else can I help you with?
Is 95.9 a good temperature?
No that is not a good body temperature if its that low you need to go to the hospital
Why do men have ballsacs?
The scrotum, which houses the testicles, serves the purpose of regulating and maintaining the temperature of the testes for sperm production. The testicles need to be slightly cooler than body temperature for optimal sperm development and function.
What temperature does the body need to be maintained at?
95.5 - 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit
Why does the circulatory system need to regulate a constant body temperature?
helps protect the body against bacteria
Do you need more calorie in summer than in winter?
No, typically you need more calories in winter due to your body maintaining your internal temperature. Because the temperature difference (dT) is smaller in summer, this requires less internal heating to maintain your body temperature.
In what temperature scale is normal body temperature 310 degrees?
If the normal body temperature on the temperature scale is 310, this means the temperature scale is using Kelvin. To convert Celsius to Kelvin you just need to add 37 and the normal body temperature is 273 Celsius.
Fast way to get p pregnant?
If you are trying to get pregnant, the best way of estimating your most fertile days is by taking your basal body temperature. Your basal body temperature is your body's resting temperature when you wake up in the morning. You will need to purchase a basal body temperature thermometer, which are available from most drug stores.
Can amphibians regulate their own body temperature?
No, they cannot. Amphibians are cold-blooded and thus have no biological body temperature regulation. Their body temperature is dictated by their environment. They can regulate their body temperature to some degree by choosing their surroundings. For example, they can be warmer by being in the sun or cooler by being in the shade, etc.
Why do you need normal body temperature for survival?
If you stand in fire, (DO NOT DEMONSTRATE) you feel like the fire is killing you and eventually will. Thus it is most important that we remain in normal body temperature.
Why is low body temperature desirable for animals in the winter?
Low body temperature during the winter slows down the need for nutrition. Most of the body's cellular reactions slow down as well. Many animals hibernate which puts their body temperature so low that they must sleep.
Do Porcupines need to be at a certain body temperature?
A dolphin (species indeterminate) maintains a core temperature between 35C and 36.9C when healthy. The outer body temperature is naturally cooler.
What is the body temperature of a brachiosaurus?
First, we will need a live dinosaur and a very large thermometer..............
