Thermoregulation 5, Body temperature

Normal body temperature varies a little between individuals. Mine is normally about 36.4oC however, up to 37oC is considered normal. Occasionally individuals have temperatures, which are normal for them, of as low as 36oC to as high as 37.5oC. Individuals with persistently high body temperatures are uncommon; the vast majority of times you record a temperature of 37.5oC it will be an indication of an infection or tissue damage. If the environment is very cold then core temperature may start to drop. People are particularly prone to lowering body temperature if they are immobile or wet as well as cold. If the core temperature drops below 35oC this may be described as hypothermia.
During physical exercise body temperature may rise to 38oC and vigorous exercise may elevate this as high as 40oC. However, these rises soon trigger cooling responses from such mechanisms as sweating. Whenever total heat gain exceeds heat loss body temperature will start to rise. This can occur in very hot environments or when cooling mechanisms are unable to function.
Wearing a lot of clothes prevents heat loss to the environment and reduces evaporation of sweat. For example, soldiers have become hyperthermic while exercising in full kit on hot days. Like hypothermia, hyperthermia is a life threatening condition and must be corrected as a matter of urgency.

Dr. John you are really amazing, I thank God the Almighty who made it possible for me to found such interesting videos from you thank you SIR

[@luciolambert_]

thank you dr. CAMPBELL. One question: which practical actions should i take in order to cool down core temperature, more specifically brain temperature ?

[@jaynej9924]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

Yes , Mr.John,

Very good knowledge

Thank you DR. John you are amazing . Iam glad ifound you takling about this issue indeed. My wife has this problem which we cannot under stand the problem is she has periodic High peripheral temperature through the day most days . Our DR. Cannot find out the reson . Can you please help US

[@Campbellteaching]

+naser ibrahim The high peripheral temperatures could be due to increased peripheral blood flow. Are the core temperatures normal at the same time as the higher peripheral temperatures are noted?

Especially now is cold around 6h30 my temperature is 33,4 only morning time
