  2. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    When environmental temperature is above core body temperature, sweating is the only physiological way for humans to lose heat. [10] Arteriolar vasodilation occurs. The smooth muscle walls of the arterioles relax allowing increased blood flow through the artery. This redirects blood into the superficial capillaries in the skin increasing heat ...

  3. Bathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathing

    Bath water in Japan is much hotter than what is usual in Central Europe. The temperature is usually well above 40 °C (104 °F). In medical literature, 47 °C (117 °F) is considered bearable. [74] The heat is considered a prerequisite for complete relaxation.

  4. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

    The secretion is a complex and relatively energetically expensive process. Parietal cells contain an extensive secretory network (called canaliculi) from which the hydrochloric acid is secreted into the lumen of the stomach. The pH of gastric acid is 1.5 to 3.5 in the human stomach lumen, a level maintained by the proton pump H + /K + ATPase. [1]

    Gastrointestinal physiology is the branch of human physiology that addresses the physical function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.The function of the GI tract is to process ingested food by mechanical and chemical means, extract nutrients and excrete waste products.

  7. 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.

  8. Acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidosis

    The rate of cellular metabolic activity affects and, at the same time, is affected by the pH of the body fluids. In mammals, the normal pH of arterial blood lies between 7.35 and 7.50 depending on the species (e.g., healthy human-arterial blood pH varies between 7.35 and 7.45). [citation needed]
