Body Temperature

Body temperature is one of the vital signs of human beings. Temperature is recorded to check for fever (pyrexia or febrile condition), or to monitor the degree of hypothermia. Normal human body temperature is 37 degrees Centigrade or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

What time of day is the body heaviest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are measuring weight change, it is most important that you weigh yourself at a specific time every time. The best time to one yourself is the immediately after getting out of bed.

Your weight is going to naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Whenever you eat, drink, exercise (mostly from loss of water due to sweating) or use the restroom, your weight changes. So then, if you go about weighing yourself on a day just before a meal and then weigh yourself a day later right after a meal, you might have appeared to gain weight, even though your body fat and muscle mass are identical to the first day. Remember that these fluctuations, along with the accuracy of your scale, mean that you shouldn't get concerned with small changes in what the scale says over a short time. It's what happens over the months and years - the big trends- that you should be aware of. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise most days of the week, and things should be just fine.

hyperthermia is the correct answer and not to be confused with hypothermia which is when the body temp drops

If your body temperature gets to 106.6 is that bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES! In fact you might be left with some brain damage. A small baby can take a temperature (from fever) better than an adult can but 106.6 is high enough you'd need to go to the hospital. Hopefully you would make it!

What two physiologic responses will occur in helping maintain normal body temperature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. This process is one aspect of homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs. For humans, this occurs when the body is exposed to constant temperatures of approximately 55 °C (131 °F), and any prolonged exposure (longer than a few hours) at this temperature and up to around 75 °C (167 °F) death is almost inevitable Humans may also experience lethal hyperthermia when the wet bulb temperature is sustained above 35 °C (95 °F) for six hours. The opposite condition, when body temperature decreases below normal levels, is known as hypothermia.

How dangerous is a 106 degree body temperature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, a child CAN survive a 106F body temperature -- IF the situation is treated as a medical emergency!! (I'm lucky my mom was an RN.)

I answer this question not as a doctor or medical professional, but as someone who survived 106F temperature (more than once) as a child (18 mos - 36 mos of age).

My parents tell me every time I was taken off tetracycline for a recurrent urinary tract infection, my temp would spike to 106F, I would go into convulsions, and have to be put into an ICE BATH to get my temp lowered.

Doc would put me right back on the tetracycline to keep the infection at bay.

I'm approaching 50 now and have suffered no ill effects from the high fever-- except for deep grooves/ridges in my adult teeth, which my dentist tells me was due to high fever when the teeth were forming. (I could spend the $ to get the ridges filled.)

BTW, parents gave up on the pediatrician, and took me to a urologist, who resolved the underlying problem with surgery.

Is body fever temperatureof 40 Celsius dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

May be if it lasts for a long time. But it becomes serious for brain functions etc. when it rises to 41 and more. You should cool a patient with fever over 39, so it falls under 39, use tapid water and antipyretics like paracetamol.

What if your body temp 94.7?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Low body temperature is often a sign of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is more common among females. The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that sits just below where a man's Adam's Apple is. Tenderness in that spot may be a sign that something has gone amiss with your thyroid. A blood panel checking for thyroid hormones is called for if this is your true, basal body temperature. Make certain you have an accurate thermometer and check your temp first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. Do this for 3 to 5 days. If your temperature is always the same or under 97 you may want to order some lab work.

What body temperature is considered fatal?

'The amount of time' at the sustained temperature is key, although people have succumbed to oxygen deprivation if the sudden heat increase uses up all of the available oxygen. Please be more specific, i.e: fatal to whom or what...

What is a person's natural body temperature?

Asked by Wiki User

37

Answer:

After years of being told that there is a "normal" body temperature it is surprising to many that there are many "normal" temperatures.

It depends on where the temperature is taken.

  • Internal temperatures (Rectal, vaginal, inside the body cavity) are 37.0 °C (98.6 °F) but can range from 34.4 to 37.8 °C (94--100 °F)
  • The typical oral (under the tongue) measurement is 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F. but can range from 33.2--38.2 °C (92--101 °F)
  • Tympanic temperatures (in the ear) can range from 35.4--37.8 °C (96--100 °F)
  • Armpit (axillary) reading are typically 36.6 °C (97.9 °F), with a range of 35.5--37.0 °C (96--99 °F)

Explain whether your body gains or loses thermal energy if your body temp is 37 degrees Celsius and then temp around you is 25 degrees Celsius?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your body would gain thermal energy because thermal energy only moves from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature.

Is 97.5 at body temperature bad?

Yes, it is with the normal range. Normal body temperature can range from 97.8 degrees F (or Fahrenheit, equivalent to 36.5 degrees C, or Celsius) to 99 degrees F (37.2 degrees C) for a healthy adult.

How the temperature and hotness of the body related?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the body has a high temperature, then it would be considered hot. The term "hot" can also mean "good looking." This meaning of hot has nothing to do with the temperature of the body.
