Body Temperature

In the film "Outbreak," the killer virus Thrax causes Frank to experience a drastic increase in body temperature due to its highly infectious nature and its ability to trigger a severe immune response. As the virus spreads, it affects his body's thermoregulation, leading to a fever. This response is part of the body's attempt to fight off the infection, but it can also lead to dangerous complications.

Benzodiazepines are primarily known for their sedative and anxiolytic effects, but they can also affect thermoregulation. Some individuals may experience a decrease in body temperature as a side effect, particularly at higher doses or with prolonged use. This is likely due to their impact on the central nervous system, which can alter the body's ability to maintain normal temperature. However, significant hypothermia is rare and typically occurs in conjunction with other factors, such as concurrent use of other depressants.

No, the temperature of blood is not exactly the same as body temperature. While normal body temperature averages around 98.6°F (37°C), blood temperature can vary slightly depending on factors like location within the body and physiological conditions. Generally, blood temperature is close to core body temperature, but it may be slightly lower in peripheral areas.

A rectal temperature should not be used in infants younger than three months, as it can be uncomfortable and there are alternative methods available, such as axillary or tympanic measurements. Additionally, it is avoided in patients with certain medical conditions, such as rectal surgery or severe hemorrhoids, where it may cause pain or further complications. Lastly, in the case of patients who are uncooperative or in situations where privacy is a concern, alternative methods should be considered.

The term that refers to regulating body temperature internally is "thermoregulation." This physiological process allows an organism to maintain its core internal temperature within a narrow, optimal range, despite external temperature fluctuations. It involves various mechanisms such as sweating, shivering, and altering blood flow to the skin. Thermoregulation is crucial for the proper functioning of metabolic processes and overall homeostasis.

Yes, cancer can potentially cause low body temperature, although it's not a common symptom. Certain cancers may lead to systemic changes in the body, affecting metabolism and thermoregulation. Additionally, treatments like chemotherapy or complications such as infections can also contribute to hypothermia in cancer patients. However, low body temperature is more frequently associated with other medical issues, so it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis.

In hypothermia, death typically occurs when the body core temperature drops to around 70°F (21°C) or lower. At this critical temperature, vital organs begin to fail, and the body's physiological processes become severely impaired. Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to cardiac arrest and other life-threatening complications as the body loses its ability to regulate temperature. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to prevent fatal outcomes.

The palms of your hands may feel hotter than the rest of your body due to a higher concentration of blood vessels and sweat glands in that area, which can lead to increased blood flow and heat. Additionally, factors such as anxiety, stress, or physical activity can cause your body to redirect blood flow to the extremities, making them feel warmer. Lastly, individual differences in metabolism and body composition can also contribute to this sensation.

Pisces, as a zodiac sign, does not have a specific body temperature, as it is an astrological classification rather than a biological entity. However, individuals born under the sign of Pisces typically fall within the normal human body temperature range of about 97°F to 99°F (36.1°C to 37.2°C). Astrological interpretations may suggest that Pisces individuals are often seen as sensitive and intuitive, but these traits do not correlate with physical attributes like body temperature.

temperature of different body parts are different. For eg. the temperature of tongue is 2 degree less than the armpit,nose tips get colder during winters though other body parts are comparetively warmer, during fever forehead, neck,hand become more warm than rest of the body.Which indicate the fever by touching.

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information on specific locations for body-to-body massages or any other adult services. It is important to prioritize ethical and professional standards in all aspects of life, including seeking out services that align with legal and moral guidelines. If you are interested in massage therapy, I recommend researching licensed and reputable massage therapy centers in Hyderabad that offer legitimate and therapeutic services.

Generally, fevers are kept under 104° F (40° C) because a temperature higher than so can damage the body's cells,

but any temperature higher than 107° F (41.6666667 ° C) is incompatible with the body and can be deadly.

The highest fever ever recorded of my own body was 104.4° F (40.2222222° C)

but the highest fever ever recorded on anybody is over 9000° F (4982.2222222° C)

At a temperature of 112.7° F (44.8333333° C)

You can only survive for 48 hours.

Well, darling, the human body doesn't "melt" like a popsicle on a hot day. But if you're talking about when the body starts to break down due to extreme heat, well, that's around 130 degrees Fahrenheit. So, unless you're planning on turning yourself into a human candle, I suggest staying cool and hydrated instead.

External coldness (air or water) can, of course, cause a lowering of body temperature. In such cases, body temperatures below 92 F can become a problem.

However, it is possible for 93F to be the "normal" temperature for some people. What's more, when and how you measure can make a difference. Measuring under the tongue will result in a lower temperature than measuring rectally. Measuring in the arm pit, in the ear or on the skin surface will result in lower temperatures still. Normally, one's temperature is lowest in the wee early morning hours (assuming a typical sleep pattern) and highest in the late afternoon. Body temperature in most people also varies a couple of degrees depending upon the time of day and in a few people, it will vary even more and still be considered normal.

That being said, low body temperature can also be a sign that something is wrong. Is the 93F temperature something new? If so, it should be looked into.

Even if it is not a new phenomena, you should probably be checked for hypothyroidism. Both a T3 and T4 test should be given. If these come back within normal limits, it may well be that you are just a healthy person with a low body temperature. However, many people would argue that thyroid tests are not always accurate so if you have the other symptoms of hypothyroidism and and low body temp, you should try taking thyroid replacement to see if it helps.

the hot water will feel much hotter than it actually is. This is because the nerves that sense temperature feel cold or warm. Hot causes both types to fire. When your hands are cold, and you put them into hot water it can cause those nerves to fire more then they normally would.

Also, if your hands are cold enough, the blood will be thickened, and the vessels will be constricted. Suddenly plunging your hands into hot water will cause the vessels to expand, sending the thickened, cold blood rushing up towards your heart which can cause a heart attack.

It is not normal :) I would think if you are not nine months pregnant now.. it is probably a uterine twich of some sort that you are feeling or your own pulse which you can feel when pressing down on your uterine area. I wondered the same thing myself when I was pregnant and I found out it was actually my own heartbeat I was hearing. I thought that was strange because it was coming from my tummy but its referred noise from your heart and causes a echo in your tummy - hence it sounding like a heartbeat.

Not really. In terms of physics: yes, you are adding heat to a set of molecules, therefor it will get warmer. But you are not a closed system: you lose a lot of heat from evaporation and IR radiation. The heating pad will warm up a specific area of skin and muscle, but will not raise your core temperature unless you are under a lot of blankets (in which case your own trapped body-heat will also raise it), and even then, your body will work hard to prevent it from raising it very much.

A temperature probe is a digital thermometer.

Hypothyroidism leads to low body temperature because the thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4), play a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy expenditure. When thyroid hormone levels are insufficient, metabolic processes slow down, resulting in decreased heat production in the body. This reduced thermogenesis can manifest as a lower overall body temperature. Additionally, the body's ability to respond to cold environments is diminished, further contributing to feelings of coldness.

If the temperature is too hot, the bacteria may be killed due to denaturation of their proteins. On the other hand, if the temperature is too cold, the bacterial growth and metabolism may slow down significantly or even stop. Both extreme temperature conditions can disrupt normal bacterial function and hinder their survival and growth.

When your body temperature drops below normal, your body will start to shiver in order to generate heat. Your blood vessels will also constrict to conserve heat and your body may increase metabolism to generate more heat.

The normal response of the integumentary system to an increase in body temperature is to dilate blood vessels in the skin (vasodilation), allowing more blood to flow near the surface of the skin. This helps to release heat from the body through the process of radiation, thereby cooling the body down. Sweat glands also become active, producing sweat that evaporates and helps to further lower body temperature.

Typically, a human can only survive temperatures up to around 140°F (60°C) for a short period of time. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above this range can lead to heat stroke and other serious health complications.
