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 is body temperature that is higher than normal?

If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs.

Where is your uterus on your body?

It is in the pelvic region roughly in the area of the pubic bone.

Why does your body temperature rise by keeping the onions underarms?

something to do with the sulphuric acid that is in your body that makes the body temperature rise.

If your normal body temperature is 97.5 what height of temp constitutes a fever?

It is the same as anyone else, including those who have a normal body temperature of 98.6. the actual average body temperature for humans ranges from 97-98 degrees. So your body temperature is completely normal and will have no different circumstances than any other person with a 98.6 normal body temperature.

Is a body temperature of 37.12 C too high?

37 degrees Centigrade is the same as 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is normal body temperature.

38 degrees is equal to 100.4, so it shouldn't be a problem

What happens to mammals when their body temperature drops too low and why does the body display such a reaction?

When a mammal's body temperature drops below the normal temperature at which most body functions remain functioning, they are said to be in a state of hypothermia. Hypothermic mammals display symptoms such as slow respiration and heart rate, lowered blood pressure, shivering, eventually a loss of consciousness and ultimately, if the hypothermia is severe enough or if it is left untreated, death. When in a hypothermic state, the body goes into survival mode. While in survival mode, the body will begin to do things internally to preserve heat so that it stays alive. These internal reactions include shivering, narrowing of the blood vessels (known as vasoconstriction), rapid breathing and rapid heart rate.
sickness and change the colour of the skin

Can 39.1C dangerous for a child?

I would be concerned with any thing above 37.8 and yes 39.1 is to the point we should have them checked often after giving medicine every hour or even half hour is better. 40 definately with no doubt would need a good doctor or hospital's care. Better safe than sorry.

Will 99.4F will indicate fever?

99.4 is on the high side, but it may not be a fever, just your normal body temperature.

What is body percussion?

body percussion is the judging the abdomen and thorax of human body in clinical examination for finding out whether there is fluid or air inside. As in case of pneumothorax the percussion sound is tympanic rather than normal resonance which suggests the presence of air inside the pleural cavity.

What happens when body temperature rises above normal?

Most likely sick, or you just need to cool down

1. Sweat gland activity increases 2. hair on you rarms and legs lies flat so heat is not trapped close to the body

3. blood flow to the skin increases

Is a temperature of 96.8 degrees celsius a normal temperature?

We are not qualified to assess the accuracy of your thermometer or your readings. 96.4 F is below the average range for human body temperature. If this concerns you, please consult a medical professional.

What temperature range do humans live in?

In Fahrenheit, the normal range is 97.6 to 99.6---give or take. 98.6F or 37C is normal temp.

Day in a month when the normal body temp of girl increase 1 degrees Celsius?

Day in a month when the body temperature of a girl increase from the normal boday temperature?

How does ear size help foxes maintain constant body temperature?

There are blood vessels in the ears that help maintain body temperature and the bigger the ear the more surface area it has to work with in order to regulate the temperature.

What is the integrating center for the negative feedback loop that regulates body temp?

There are two main components:

1- Positive feedback- The inciting event is heat radiation stimulating anterior hypothalamus nerves that cause stimulation. These then stimulate inhibiting nerves which cause hyperpolarization of sympathetic nerve systems

2- Negative feedback- The inhibition causes a decrease in sympathetic tone causing vasodilation of the vasculature, that results in heat loss. The returning temperature of blood decreases, resulting in less transfer of heat radiation, and thus homeostasis of body temp. The opposite for decrease heat radiation.

Stimulus to cold:

1- Positive feedback- Decrease in transfer of heat energy causes less depolarization of nerves in the hypothalamus, thus less stimulation of inhibitory nerve cells regulating sympathetic tone.

2- Negative feedback- Less positive inhibition causes increased activity of sympathetic nerve ending, thereby increasing vasculature tone, and thus vasoconstriction, and decreased body heat loss.

Thus, the global negative feedback is a complex interplay of several negative and positive loops, that account for: increase heat radiation->increased vasodilation through inhibition of sympathetic tone. Decreased heat radiation->decreased vasodilation (vasoconstriction) through decreased inhibition of sympathetic tone.

To answer the question more simply: anterior hypothalamus (inhibitory neurons by positive effect from heat sensing neurons) and sympathetic nervous system

Is a body temperature of 100.3 ok?

no this indicates an infection see a doctor if you feel ill or remove heavy clothing or bed linen and take 2 paracetamol tablets to reduce fever. If temp.not coming down after a couple of hours seek medical advice. Normal temp should be approx 98.5F

What is the body temperature of a thermometer?

I don't understand your question. Thermometers are inanimate objects and thus have no body temperature

When the body temperature becomes abnormally high thremoregulatory homeostasis is maintained by?

When body temperature becomes abnormally high, thermoregulatory homeostasis is maintained primarily through mechanisms such as vasodilation and sweating. Vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin, allowing heat to dissipate more effectively. Sweating produces moisture on the skin's surface, which cools the body as it evaporates. These processes help to restore normal body temperature and prevent overheating.
