Do you subtract a degree from rectal temperature?

No. You only add a degree when taking a axial (under the arm) temp. This is because the axial temp is taken externally, so it only gives a close approximation of the body's internal temperature. Since oral temps are taken from inside the mouth, they give you the accurate internal body temperature without having to add anything.

What are some of the purposes of the muscles?

The human body has three types of muscles. There are more than 600 major muscles and have 240 specific names of them. The first type is called skeletal muscles. They vary in size because each muscle has various type of job. Skeletal muscles, which have the hard job, are large and strong such as the muscles of the thigh. In the opposite way, skeletal muscles which have the little job, are small and weakly such as eye muscles. Skeletal muscles are the part of many organs such as the chest, arms, legs and abdomen so they give the shape of the body and make the body move. In addition, they also help hold the bones of the skeleton together. The second type of muscles is called smooth muscles. They are found in the walls of the internal organs such as blood vessels and stomach. Smooth muscles are not under control by the brain. They are stimulated and operate automatically by the autonomic nervous system and by body chemicals. The autonomic nervous system enables the body to maintain a stable internal environment. This system has two parts. The one is the sympathetic system which speed up all bodily processes. The other is the parasympathetic system which slow down bodily processes and make the body relax. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic are controlled by hypothalamus. The third type of muscles is called cardiac muscle which is found in the wall of the heart only. Cardiac muscle help the heart push blood out and into the arteries. It is operate automatically without orders from the brain. Cardiac muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The muscles have many ability which are different other tissue. They have irritability, contractility, extensibility and elasticity. These ability make every organ work completely. I think the muscles are excellent.

What are the names of the sites on the body where temperature can be taken?

I believe there are actually only 3 and they include the mouth, the armpit and the anus. The fourth location is inside the ear. There are special measuring devices you can get (usually designed for infants) to measure temperature accurately.But the temperature of all places are not same.

What happen when human body temperature gets below 98.6 degree F?

The value of 98.6 °F is actually based on very old study from the 1800s which has been misinterpreted. The accepted normal range today for oral temperature is 98.2±1.3 °F, thus temperatures as low as 96.9 °F are normal. Hypothermia, the medical condition of low body temperature, is defined as core temperature of 95 °F or lower. At this point, the body will take actions aggressive action such as shivering to increase temperature. More extreme hypothermia will result in loss of muscle function and eventually shutdown of vital organs resulting in death. The attached link contains more detailed information on the stages of hypothermia.

If your normal body temperature is 96F is 98 considered high?

No, this is not considered high or abnormal. The normal average is 98.6F. Give or take a few degrees because everyone's system works different. Only be alarmed if your temperature becomes greater than 99. Or less than 95. This temperatures are in Fahrenheit, respectively.
