  2. Skin temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_temperature

    Skin temperature is the temperature of the outermost surface of the body. Normal human skin temperature on the trunk of the body varies between 33.5 and 36.9 °C (92.3 and 98.4 °F), though the skin's temperature is lower over protruding parts, like the nose, and higher over muscles and active organs.

  3. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    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).

  4. 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.

  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.

    The rocket-motor body makes up the rear of the shell, this constructed from 4340 steel. The motor body weighs 13.5 kg (30 lb) (approximately 3.175 kg (7.00 lb) of which is propellant), is 266.7 mm (10.50 in) long and is encircled by a welded overlay copper driving band (rotating band) and obturator band , both protected during storage and ...

    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.

  8. 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]

  9. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    * Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.
