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.

Homeostasis
Hypothermia is dangerous because it lowers your core body temperature to a dangerous level in which your metabolism is reduced to abnormal stages and your bodily functions don't have enough heat to work
What is needed to measure the temperature of an oven?
A thermostat or more carefully with a thermometer.
How can body temperature determine the time of death?
it is the temperature of the liver that determines the time of death (how long a body has been dead). that's why the medical examiner sticks a meat thermometer into the liver.
What causes abnormally low body temperatures?
Continued exposure to low or rapidly falling temperatures.
How cold is too cold for humans?
Temperatures that cause you to lose heat faster than you produce it is too cold. for the most part, temperatures that cause your body temp to drop below 95° F (35° C) will cause the onset of hypothermia. Hypothermia is a serious condition. Symptoms include:
- Shivering
- Clumsiness or lack of coordination
- Slurred speech or mumbling
- Stumbling
- Confusion or difficulty thinking
- Poor decision making, such as trying to remove warm clothes
- Drowsiness or very low energy
- Apathy, or lack of concern about one's condition
- Progressive loss of consciousness
- Weak pulse
- Shallow breathing
Situations as simple as submersion to the knees in 40° F water for five minutes or more can lead to the onset of hypothermia. Once symptoms have begun to manifest, medical treatment should be sought.
What does the sinoatrial node do when body temperature is increased?
Known as the "pacemaker of the heart," the sinoatrial node would most likely speed up if the body temperature were to rise.
What will happen to the body temperature with and without the evaporation of sweat?
When sweat evaporates from the skin's surface, it cools the body by dissipating heat, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. Without the evaporation of sweat, the body loses this essential cooling mechanism, leading to an increase in body temperature, especially during physical activity or in hot environments. This can result in heat-related illnesses if the body cannot effectively cool itself. Thus, evaporation of sweat is crucial for maintaining a stable internal temperature.
What is the normal temperature and humidity of a human?
The average, adult human temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Golgi body is a cell organell, which is a centre for dipatchment of secretory products
What could be the cause of high body temperature in a human?
Time of day, age, gender, physical exercise, emotions, pregnancy, environmental changes, infection, drugs, and food can all cause an increase in body temperature.
Please be more specific about emotions, environmentatl changes, drugs and foods that can cause high body temperature
How does vasodilation in the dermis decrease body temperature?
Dermal vasodilation is a smooth muscle action triggered by the autonomic nervous system (and in particular the hypothalamus) when the body's temperature is raising. As the dermal blood vessels dilate (plump-up) with warm blood, heat is lost through the skin by radiation, convection and conduction.
What is the normal ignition temperature for glucose and oxygen when burned outside the body?
75 degrees Celsius
Regardless of what region you live in the industry is driven by the temperature considered comfortable by the consumer. Generally that would be between 65 and 80 degrees.
Which group of vertebrates have changing body temperatures?
The term for animals that have varying blood temperatures based on the environment is cold blooded. Animals who keep a constant temperature is called warm blooded.
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining what?
Control of body temperature is important for maintaining homeostasis.
What if my body temperature is a 99.7 body temperature when normal is 97.5?
It says your body temperature is 1.6 degrees below "normal".
"Normal" can change based on conditions, body heat, surroundings, etc....
I do not think I have ever had a reading of 98.6. It is just a baseline for normal/average body temperature.
Why are people suffering from hypothermia wrapped in shiny silver blankets?
Silver surfaces are poor emitters of heat so it allows them to stay warm which in hindsight would warm their body temperature up or atleast not allow it to drop any furthur
Are you sick if your temperature is 36.5?
if your talking about 36.5 degrees Fahrenheit, they you would be dead because your temperature cannot go that low without killing you. if you are talking about Celsius which is about 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit. My opinion is no you are not sick. The normal temperature is 98.6 Fahrenheit and 37 degrees Celsius.
Must temperature be measured in the shade?
The answer depends on why you want to measure the temperature and what the object is. I cannot see any way of measuring the temperature of the surface of the sun in the shade!
