Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperthermia refers to a group of heat-related conditions characterized by an abnormally high body temperature-in other words, the opposite of hypothermia. The condition occurs when the body’s heat-regulation system becomes overwhelmed by outside factors, causing a person’s internal temperature to rise.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the body core temperature rises above the critical level of 37 C (98.6 F), there is an increase in the rate of heat loss by sweating. Shivering and chemical thermogenesis are strongly inhibited.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyperthermia is an abnormally high body temperature-or overheating. It’s the opposite of hypothermia, when your body is too cold. Hyperthermia occurs when your body absorbs or generates more heat than it can release. A human’s normal body temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is your body’s response to a rising temperature. The blood vessels in your skin tighten up (constrict), forcing blood from the outer layer of your skin to inside your body where it is easier to keep the heat in. The outer skin layer then becomes cool and your muscles start to contract.
