IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Your body reacts and heats up When you have an infection, you make lots of these cells. They work faster to try and fight off the infection. The increase in these white blood cells affects your hypothalamus. This makes your body heat up, causing a fever.

Detailed explanation-3: -The average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6°F (37°C). Some studies have shown that the “normal” body temperature can have a wide range, from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C). A temperature over 100.4°F (38°C) most often means you have a fever caused by an infection or illness.

Detailed explanation-4: -A high temperature is usually considered to be 38C or above. This is sometimes called a fever.

Detailed explanation-5: -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-6: -A normal, healthy person has a body temperature around 37 degrees Celsius. A fever occurs when your child’s body temperature is higher than normal. Normal body temperature varies a little but a temperature above 38◦C is considered a fever. A fever in young children usually means that they have an underlying infection.
