When talking of body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, 99.6 is basically a doorstep to a low-grade fever. This kind of temperature might indicate a low grade infection, so it's always best to check with your doctor if you observe your body temp. to be higher than 99.6 degrees.
Answer: Normal body temperature, according to the American Medical Association, can range from 97.8° F (or Fahrenheit, equivalent to 36.5° C, or Celsius) to 99° F (37.2° C). http://www.healthsystem.Virginia.edu/uvahealth/adult_nontrauma/vital.cfm
Comment: The numerous factors that affect body temperature are individualistic...taking the body temp of everyone(healthy) in the U.S. at the same time would produce a "Distribution Curve" which at some point on either side of the "typical reading" would start to indicate concern and should trigger study....eg. how long, feel good/bad, low grade infections, Allergies, and so on and on until an understanding is reached.
Comment: The European Doctor Who tabulated the so called "normal" temperature derived it from ~2500? people arriving at 37deg C, which when converted to F becomes 98.6 deg F... and then the myth begins. Later study has provided as an average of 98.2deg F. But still the body temperature is a matter of the distribution curve. Note: Some people exhibit a so called "normal" temperature but in fact are exhibiting signs of illness.
it should be the normal temperature of any body part: 98.6First of all, an oral temp is normally 98.6 and the anus is about 90. The armpit is about 92. So all body parts are different. For the forehead, a temperature just below 100 degrees F is normal. I hope this helped :)
it is part of biology which explains where the body stabilizes itself. Ex: sweat- releases the excess heat from the body to go back to a normal temperature
The part of a rat's body that is used to regulate their body temperature is the brain stem.
The average body temperature before death can vary but generally remains close to normal body temperature (around 98.6°F or 37°C). In some cases of severe infection or inflammation, a person's temperature may rise slightly above normal before death.
The forehead or temporal artery tends to give the highest temperature reading when using a digital forehead thermometer.
yes
The hypothalamus controls the body's temperature.
Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is a concept that depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day and level of activity of the body. Although the value 37.0 C (98.6 F) is the commonly accepted average core body temperature, the value of 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F is an average oral (mouth under the tongue) measurement. Rectal measurements, or measurements taken directly inside the body cavity, are typically slightly higher.
Foods high in carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes can provide energy to the body. Additionally, foods rich in fats like nuts, avocado, and salmon can help generate heat in the body through the process of metabolism.
With older adults, it is common to see body temperature drop by up to one degree Celsius. Most older adults sit just a little lower than 37, all part of normal age related changes in the senior population.
it does that one thing
