  2. 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). [8] [9] Human body temperature varies.

  3. Heat illness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_illness

    Older adults, very young children, and those who are sick or overweight are at a higher risk for heat-related illness. [10] The chronically ill and elderly are often taking prescription medications (e.g., diuretics, anticholinergics, antipsychotics, and antihypertensives) that interfere with the body's ability to dissipate heat. [11]

  4. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    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]

  5. Heat exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exhaustion

    The human body maintains a core body temperature at around 37 °C or 98.6 °F through mechanisms controlled by the thermoregulatory center within the hypothalamus.When the body is exposed to high ambient temperatures, intense physical exertion, or both, the thermoregulatory center will initiate several processes to dissipate more heat: [9] [11] [12]

  6. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion.

  7. Heat stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

    However, high body temperature does not necessarily indicate that heat stroke is present, such as with people in high-performance endurance sports or with people experiencing fevers. [18] In others with heatstroke, the core body temperature is not always above 40 degrees Celsius. [5] Therefore, heat stroke is more accurately diagnosed based on ...

  9. 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.
