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.

How do capillaries help control body temperature?
Vasoconstriction And Vasodilation.
Vasodilation is when its hot, so your capillaries widen and your veins come up to the surface of your skin to release heat. as well as your pores widening releasing beads of sweat. (When it evapourates it cools your body down)
Vasoconstriction - when your veins and capillaries contract slighlty and dont stick up from your skin, to keep heat inside. As well as skin pours tightening, and your hair on your arms and stuff sticking up straight - to trap air in between to insulate your body. And if you start to shiver - its your muscles contracting and relaxing to produce heat energy.
It depends on wether you have just got a temperatrure or are just getting over one. If it is nothing series just a wee temperature a good nights sleep and plenty of water shoould bring it back down to normal. Hope this helps!
What is the normal body temperature 37 celsius on Rankine scale?
37 degrees Celsius = 558.27 degrees Rankine.
Is low body temperature in a 2 year dangerous?
Low body temperature in a 2 year old can be dangerous. However, this depends on how low the body temperature is and what the cause is from. See your doctor if you have a child with consistently low body temperature.
How does an RTD measure temperature?
An RTD, or resistance temperature detector is based in the principal that the resistance of a conductor changes as its temperature changes. The RTD consists of a long length of fine coiled wire made from some pure material such as nickel, platinum or copper. The coil is in the form of a probe and may be encased in a protective sheath. The wire material has a known response - in how its resistance changes with temerature - and this known change is used to determine temperature.
What does 210 Celsius equal in Fahrenheit?
Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32
In this case, the answer is about 410 degrees Fahrenheit.
If paediatric pain medication does not reduce her temperature within a half hour of taking it, it would be best to take her to the doctor.
Why is it important that your body temperature doesn't rise above 40oc?
It's important for a person with fever not to rise above 40 degree centigrade, to prevent seizure or convulsion a stage where the patient is in danger, because his brain will might be affected.
you will have to find a specialist, also make sure that you do not suffer from low blood pressure, however, if the doctors cannot find anything wrong with you, you will have to persevere and find one who does and makes all the tests that you need.
Is someone alive if they have a temp of 88 degrees?
You might better ask is a person alive if their body temperature falls to 88 F.
No one is walking around with a temperature that low. However coming down from normal body temperature can be regarded at several stages:
- Normal core body temperature is 98.6 F
- Mild hypothermia sets in at about 95 F.
- A potential for amnesia starts at 91 F
- You lose consciousness at 82 F
- Profound hypothermia and death happens at 70 F or below.
The above data is for core body temperature impacts. You can freeze surface skin or extremities and they die but you will still be alive. This is frostbite. Climbers and hikers often lose toes and fingers in this way.
How far below the normal body temperature is safe?
Although 98.6 has long been set as the "normal" body temperature, body temp can fluctuate yet still be within normal range for that person. For example, one person may consistently run 97.6 and be okay. Another person may feel very feverish with a temp of 99.0, just 0.10 higher than "normal".
However, body temp below 96 requires medical intervention.
Is body temp 1 degree lower or higher then taken orally?
Oral temp is usually lower especially if the pt. is a "mouth breather" or has drank something cold.
What is the highest measurement in temperature?
According to the current theories of the Universe, the highest possible temperature is the Planck temperature. This is approx 1.417*10^32 Kelvin: that is equal to more than 100 nonillion or 100 million million million million million Kelvin.
Why does your body temperature go down when you swim?
Because, when you have been swimming, you have been in the water, and water is sometimes cold, so when the cold has entered your body, your body goes cold.
7 How do homeotherms respond when ambient temperature falls below body temperature?
Clearly no clear answer to this question. It depends on the group of animal, sometimes even differs on population or individual level.
There are animals who just minimize temperature loss by reducing blood flow in non-vital organs, e.g. humans do so. (Also, they might shiver, get goose pimples etc.)
Some are changing behaviour, e.g. starting to migrate, eventually triggered by the physiological stimulus of the temperature.
There are ones who try to hibernate, first changing behaviour and then reducing blood flow even more and changing a lot of their physiology.
Remember: the reaction might differ even on individual level as you can easily see in birds. Blackbirds used to be migrating birds. Now, a huge part of the populations are sedentary birds.

Why use Fahrenheit to measure body heat?
that's the way its measured in the US. the rest of the world uses Celsius as it is the metric unit.
The control of the temperature of the body is an example of what?
Homeostasis: refers to the constant internal temperature mantained for all the cells of the body.
a homeostatic mechanism and a negative feedback system
Is the human body temperature 21 degrees celsius?
No, the normal is 37C. Temperature can vary one degree higher or lower and still be normal.
Can you have the flu and have a normal body temperature?
You can be ill with a normal body temperature but if it was flu you would be sweating and shivering at the same time.
Is it bad if the temp of a 17 yr old girl is 95.5 F?
I would recommend you to see a doctor, unless it's due to a sickness. When you check your temperature make sure you didn't have anything cold or something that could affect it. Sometimes thermometers aren't the best because of ear wax, but digital ones are usually better than others.
