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 are health teaching about basal body temperature method of contraception?
What is the normal body temperature for 2 days old baby girl?
36.5
About 99 degrees (37 deg C )
but 2 degrees F ( 1 deg C ) variation is O.K.
More than that see a doc.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
At what temperature does a body freezes?
Liquid water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. Our bodies are 75% water. A naked body in temperatures below freezing will be completely frozen solid in less than an hour if conditions are bad.
What body temperature is dangerous?
there are two body temperatures that can be dangerous. The body's normal temperature should be 37.5c. This is the temperature at which the body can work best at. If the body temperature rises above 37.5c this is a condition called Hyperthermia when the body absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. Temperatures above 40c are life-threatening and needs treating immediately. If the body temperature drops below 37.5c then this condition is called Hypothermia this is usually caused to excessive exposure to cold settings such as cold air and water. It is subdivided into four different degrees, mild 32-35 °C (90-95 °F); moderate, 28-32 °C (82-90 °F); severe, 20-28 °C (68-82 °F); and profound at less than 20 °C. Medical attention is need when the body temperature drops below (32c).
What is Hypothermia and what can contribute to it?
Hypothermia is another name for high colesterol. Eating too much or unhealthy habits can contribute to hypothermia.
What the rationale for taking body temperature before doing ABG analysis?
ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) is a measurement of oxygen saturation in the arterial blood which supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissue and the extraction of oxygen from the hemoglobin at the capillary level. The amount of oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin (HbO2) depends on hemoglobin concentration and the arterial pressure often referred to as Hemoglobin / O2 dissociation curve. At lower body temperature, less oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin, while at higher temperature slightly more oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin. It is therefore important to know the body temperature when the ABG analysis is done so as to have a more meaningful interpretation of the result.

Hi, I have the 307CC 2005 and I have been told that the Oil temperature remains at 100 (i.e. in the middle) if it exceeds one bar it is still okay since the cooling fan is triggered beyond 100. In about a couple minute the gauge must return back to 100. if it doesn't you can still continue to drive but constantly observe the water and oil temperatures. if it seems that it gets another bar up YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY STOPAND TURN THE ENGINE OFF to avoid any damage due to excessive heat. Consult your Peugeot service center immediately. Best, Asad.
How does the outside temperature affect the body temperature?
The outside temperature affects the body temperature because it the body temperature will try to regulate itself. For example, if the temperature outside is cold, the body will generate heat as much as possible to maintain a core temperature.
Can hot food change your body temperature?
Hot food can change the body temperature, which is normal.
Anything you fancy from meat like chicken and pork, vegetables including bean sprouts etc and even banana if you prefer sweeter versions!
What is the exact body temperature of a cnidarian?
The temperature of the water around it. Cnidarians, like all animals except mammals and birds, are coldblooded, meaning they cannot regulate their own temperature. Their bodies have the same temperature as the environment. This is why lizards sunbathe, for example.
Where can you get hypothermia?
In a very very cold place. But it's not the whole answer- it can happen anywhere that has the right conditions to make your body temperature drop severely. So yes, in those places, but it can definitely even happen in California (I've seen it happen!)
Another name for normal body temperature?
Another name for normal body temperature is core body temperature.
How does coffee raise the body's temperature?
Yes, it does but not rapidly, of course a warm drink would increase body temperature. its almost like pouring warm water on your arm.
Is 34.7'C body temperature normal?
No it is a little low if you have a temperature like that get wrapped up in a blanket and put the heating on for 30 minutes take a paracetamol and your temperature will be higher in no time :)
