  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    t. e. 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). [8][9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and ...

  4. Heat stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

    Heat stroke or heatstroke, also known as sun-stroke, is a severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than 40.0 °C (104.0 °F), [4] along with red skin, headache, dizziness, and confusion. [2] Sweating is generally present in exertional heatstroke, but not in classic heatstroke. [5]

    The 273.15 K difference between K and °C is rounded to 273 K to avoid false precision in the Celsius value. E The 273.15 K difference between K and °C is within the precision of these values. F For a true black-body (which the plasma was not). The Z machine's dominant emission originated from 40 MK electrons (soft x-ray emissions) within the ...

  6. Heat index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

    v. t. e. The heat index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is 41 °C ...

  7. Fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever

    Fever is an important metric for the diagnosis of disease in domestic animals. The body temperature of animals, which is taken rectally, is different from one species to another. For example, a horse is said to have a fever above 101 °F (38.3 °C). [129]

  8. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    v. t. e. In humans, hyperthermia is defined as a temperature greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F), depending on the reference used, that occurs without a change in the body's temperature set point. [3][10] The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. [2] Hyperthermia requires an ...
