  2. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    A water temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) can lead to death in as little as one hour, and water temperatures near freezing can cause death in as little as 15 minutes. [37] During the sinking of the Titanic , most people who entered the −2 °C (28 °F) water died in 15–30 minutes.

    After just two minutes, heart rates reach a level more commonly expected during intense aerobic exercise testing, Franklin said. About 805,000 people in the U.S. have a heart attack every year in ...

  4. Cold shock response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_shock_response

    The cold water can cause heart attack due to severe vasoconstriction, [2] where the heart has to work harder to pump the same volume of blood throughout the arteries. For people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, the additional workload can result in myocardial infarction and/or acute heart failure, which ultimately may lead to a cardiac ...

    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.

  6. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 and hot arid.

  7. Clinical death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death

    Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing, the two criteria necessary to sustain the lives of human beings and of many other organisms. [1] It occurs when the heart stops beating in a regular rhythm, a condition called cardiac arrest. The term is also sometimes used in resuscitation research.

    The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother's, about 75-80 beats per minute (BPM). The embryonic heart rate (EHR) then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating, peaking at 165-185 BPM during the early 7th week, (early 9th week after the LMP).
