  2. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.

  3. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

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

    The human body always works to remain in homeostasis. One form of homeostasis is thermoregulation. 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.

  4. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    A temperature setpoint is the level at which the body attempts to maintain its temperature. When the setpoint is raised, the result is a fever. When the setpoint is raised, the result is a fever. Most fevers are caused by infectious disease and can be lowered, if desired, with antipyretic medications.

  5. 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]

  6. Targeted temperature management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_temperature...

    Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia, is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain. [1]

  7. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    This is mainly due to a more sluggish response of the counteraction mechanisms in lower parts of the body that are used to maintain the core temperature of the body at ideal values. [58] Seniors prefer warmer temperatures than young adults (76 vs 72 degrees F or 24.4 vs 22.2 Celsius).

  8. Experts Say There Is in Fact a ‘Best’ Temperature for Sleep

    Temperature influences the body’s circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep-wake cycles, says Dr. Vendrame. In other words, your body’s temperature tells you when to sleep and when to be awake.

  9. Heat exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exhaustion

    The human body maintains a core body temperature at around 37 °C or 98.6 °F through mechanisms controlled by the thermoregulatory center within the hypothalamus.When the body is exposed to high ambient temperatures, intense physical exertion, or both, the thermoregulatory center will initiate several processes to dissipate more heat: [9] [11] [12]
