Too Hot??
when your internal temperature rises to a dangerously high level
Heat Stroke
when your internal temperature drops to a dangerously low level
Hypothermia
What is the average normal body temperature in degrees Celsius?
37 degrees celsius
What one word could you use to define homeostasis?
Balanced, Stable, Normal, Set-Point
2 responses to high body temp
Sweating, Vasodilation
2 responses to low body temp
Shivering, Vasoconstriction
Did our runner overheat?
No
What is the term for the process by which the body maintains a stable internal temperature (specific to temperature)?
Thermoregulation
the SYSTEM which stimulates sweat glands
The Nervous System
This needs to stop in the skin for you to warm up, especially when leaving the gym and going outside on a cold day
Sweating
What evidence proves our claim about the runner?
Her temp was 37.5 degrees celsius
Does body temperature have a wide range of healthy temperatures or a low range?
Low Range
The expansion of blood vessels to release heat to the external environment
Vasodilation
the narrowing of the blood vessels to retain heat
Vasoconstriction
What science concept explains how she was able to maintain her body temperature?
Homeostasis/Thermoregulation
What measurement of temperature are we using when examining our runner?
Celsius
sweating, or putting a layer of water on your skin, is good for the loss of body heat by this mechanism/process
Evaporation
The part of the brain that controls thermoregulation
Hypothalamus
What "logic" explains our claim about our runner overheating?
Her body temp was only .5 C off normal temperature
This bodily response occurs when the muscles at the base of hair follicles contract which can"help" warm you up.
