  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    t. e. Normal human body temperature (normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [8][9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and ...

  3. Vital signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_signs

    Aural and skin temperature measurements require special devices designed to measure temperature from these locations. [11] While 37 °C (99 °F) is considered "normal" body temperature, there is some variance between individuals. Most have a normal body temperature set point that falls within the range of 36.0 to 37.5 °C (96.8 to 99.5 °F). [13]

  4. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia, shivering stops and confusion increases. [3] In severe hypothermia, there may be hallucinations and paradoxical undressing, in which ...

  5. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    Body temperature varies in every individual, but the average internal temperature is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F). [1] Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate. Hypothermia can set in when the core temperature drops to 35 °C (95 °F). [2]

  6. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Human thermoregulation. As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [1] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid ...

  7. Fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever

    Normal body temperatures vary depending on many factors, including age, sex, time of day, ambient temperature, activity level, and more. [37] [38] Normal daily temperature variation has been described as 0.5 °C (0.9 °F). [7]: 4012 A raised temperature is not always a fever. [37]

  8. Thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation

    Normal body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F), and hypothermia sets in when the core body temperature gets lower than 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, hypothermia is usually treated by methods that attempt to raise the body temperature back to a normal range. [3]
