Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.
When the rest of the body is well insulated, the exposed head and face can account for a large part of total body heat loss. When the whole body is immersed in water, it is about 10% of total heat loss, and body temperature can be selectively influenced by cooling of the head and face. [37]
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. [3]
Temperature influences the body’s circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep-wake cycles, says Dr. Vendrame. In other words, your body’s temperature tells you when to sleep and when to be awake.
Origins of heat and cold adaptations can be explained by climatic adaptation. [16] [17] Ambient air temperature affects how much energy investment the human body must make. The temperature that requires the least amount of energy investment is 21 °C (70 °F). [5] [disputed – discuss] The body controls its temperature through the hypothalamus.
Hypothermia is reduced body temperature that happens when a body dissipates more heat than it absorbs and produces. [20] Clinical hypothermia occurs when the core temperature drops below 35 °C (95 °F). [21] Heat loss is a major limitation to swimming or diving in cold water. [8]
