Body Temperature

Probably would work but would take a very long time because the difference between a meat thermometer and a normal thermometer is that the meat one is all metal versus the human variations that have mercury or some other type of liquid that is not harmful to the human body. But they are definitely not all metal like the meat thermometers. Dont see why it wouldn't work in the rectum as long as you've got alot of patience :) Good luck with that!

Normally you'd sweat a lot, since it is imperative that your body temp remains below 100 degrees F (and you are constantly generating heat yourself).

Problems - dehydration, high humidity, activity.

Normal core temperature should be 98.6.

I think its cooler because a kitchen can be very warm due to all the electrical appliances being used included the gas and oven. Also when your in the kitchen working you tend to feel hot. Therefore the body is cooler than the air in the kitchen.

Changes in body temp are recognised by the hypothalamus in the brain. An increase in body temp leads to vasodilation of blood vessels and thus more heat radiated from the skin. Also stimulates the production of sweat and thus heat loss by evaporation. A decrease in temp results in vasoconstiction of blood vessels and thus heat retention.

Water balance is also recognised by the hypothamus but is controlled by the kidneys. ADH is released from the pituritary gland which increases water reabsorption in the kindeys whilst Aldolsterone is released from the adrenal cortex (gland located above kidney) which increases the absorption of Na+ ions which causes water to follow passively by osmosis.

Exercise, hot ambient temperatures, and fever due to disease can all increase body temperature

It is very rare for a child to have too low a temperature (unless you just pulled her out of a frozen lake). Most temperature readings for healthy people (including kids) show up below that familiar 98.6F. This is a pretty common question in pediatric urgent care.

Well the average is 98.6oF or 37oC but a persons body temperature can be a little higher or a little lower.

The average human body temperature is 98.6 oF or 37 oC.

39.3 in degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit? If it is 39.3 oF then it is very very low and if it is 39.3 oC(102.74 oF) then you are suffering from fever.

In the case of 39.3 oF human is dead. There are no records of such a low temperature of human body.

This method for assessing temperature has long been considered more accurate than other methods. The problem with that rationale is that insertion into feces can actually provide an inaccurate reading. Not to mention that the risk for tearing the sensitive tissue at the anus, or for inserting the thermometer too far, causing a rectal perforation, diminishes the value of the accuracy argument anyway. This method is particularly contraindicated in newborns < 1 month; patients with diarrhea, hemorrhoids, or recent rectal surgery.

Depending on the amount in a urine cup specimen, the temp should be above 90 degrees F. If the amount is small, the temp may not be high enough to be tested by the temp strip. If the urine is tested as it comes out of the bladder, then it will test between 92 and 100 degrees F.

When you are hungry, your body is telling you that it's levels of glucose is low. The body will then begin to burn stored sugar and release it into your bloodstream.

your body temperature is controlled and regulated by a certain part of the brain, when there is an irregularity (virus, infection, etc) the body temperature increases resulting in a heat stroke a mean of relieving the temperature increase

It all depends on the state of the animal and what animal it is.

The body needs to increase cellular repiration to provide enough energy for muscle movement. It also needs more oxygen as it is being used up by the muscles.

Homeostatic mechanisms are used to ensure the cells are getting what they need and staying stable during exercise.

eg. muscle cells requiring oxygen are the STIMULUS and increased blood pressure to pump oxygen to cells quicker is the RESPONSE.

Heat in the body rising due to increased cellular respiration is the STIMULUS and sweat glands being triggered is the RESPONSE, aiding heat loss and keeping internal environmental temp under control.

Any human with a body temperature of 34.8 is dead.

Hi, A Womans basal body temperature (BBT) is NOT a indication of pregnancy. BBT will rise slightly during ovulation, illness, due to activity or period. BBT it itself is definitely not a indication of pregnancy. Indication of pregnancy is: * Missed period. * Nauseous. * Headache *Breast tenderness *Abdominal cramping. *Increase in cervical mucus.

Your body temperature rises to fight off infection. Most bacteria and viruses that cause diseases have a limited temperature window in which they can "live". By raising the temperature, the body can often kill off an infection.
