  3. Heat stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

    Those with classic heat stroke usually have dry skin, whereas those with exertional heat stroke usually have wet or sweaty skin. [ 5 ] A core body temperature (such as a rectal temperature) is the preferred method for monitoring body temperature in the diagnosis and management of heat stroke as it is more accurate than peripheral body ...

  4. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    The hair on the skin lie flat, preventing heat from being trapped by the layer of still air between the hair. This is caused by tiny muscles under the surface of the skin called arrector pili muscles relaxing so that their attached hair follicles are not erect. These flat hairs increase the flow of air next to the skin increasing heat loss by ...

  5. Electrodermal activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodermal_activity

    Electrodermal activity (EDA) is the property of the human body that causes continuous variation in the electrical characteristics of the skin. Historically, EDA has also been known as skin conductance , galvanic skin response (GSR), electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), skin conductance response (SCR), sympathetic skin ...

  6. Phosphotungstic acid-haematoxylin stain - Wikipedia

    It is used to show gliosis in the central nervous system, tumours of skeletal muscles, and fibrin deposits in lesions. Muscle is stained blue-black to dark brown, connective tissue is pale orange-pink to brownish red, fibrin and neuroglia stain deep blue, coarse elastic fibers show as purple, and bone and cartilage obtain yellowish to brownish ...

  7. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    Nervous activity in the preoptic-anterior hypothalamus of the brain triggers heat losing (sweating, etc.) or heat generating (shivering and muscle contraction, etc.) activities through stimulation of the autonomic nervous system. The pre-optic anterior hypothalamus has been shown to contain warm sensitive, cool sensitive, and temperature ...

  8. Why Sweat and Heat Make Your Skin So Sensitive - AOL

    Prickly heat. Your skin is your body’s natural radiator, giving off energy when you get overheated via coil-shaped, sweat-producing glands. When the moisture reaches the surface of the skin, it ...

  9. Shivering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivering

    Most often, when the purpose of the muscle activity is to produce motion, the heat is wasted energy. In shivering, the heat is the main intended product and is utilized for warmth. [citation needed] Newborn babies, infants, and young children experience a greater (net) heat loss than adults because of greater surface-area-to-volume ratio.
