98.4degrees farenheit or 37 degrees celsius.it can vary a little.

maybe what your teacher is trying to say here is the body temperature. now search for that answer. it's your homework.

For an adult, any body temperature of 104 or higher is potentially harmful.

If you are in good health, are staying hydrated and are not outside in excessive temperatures, your body is supposed to be able to regulate your body temperature by sweating.  That prevents our temperature from going up significantly during sports and exercise.  (It's also a basic definition of warm blooded...we maintain a stable temperature when our bodies are working they way they are supposed to.) You are more likely to get brain damage from a concussion gotten while playing sports ; )

Not everybody runs at 98.6. It's normal to vary from that degree. You can be higher or lower. 98.6 is just an average. I run about 97.2. So at 98.6, I would actually be running a fever for me.

As has been said already, 98.6 is the average human temperature. Your core temp. may be slightly above or below that.  I would be much more concerned about being sick for an extended period of time.  If you haven't recently. . . . please go and see a doctor.

I hate to disagree with links305, but not everyone runs at 98.6.  98.6 is just considered "normal".  I took care of a gentleman when I was doing home health whose temperature always ran at about 97.9.  When his temp went up to 99 even, it always signalled something was wrong.  Even though 99 is not even considered a temp technically, when his got that high it meant something.\n\nI really can't answer your original question right off the top.  However, there may be something to that.  Since I battled Breast Cancer w/chemo therapy two years ago--It seems like I'm always cold.  Colder than everyone in the room.\n\nSometimes just typing something like "body temperature in Auto Immune diseases" in the search engine will bring up research papers and such with the info.

That is fine. as long as is not a major,sudden change. Your bodys temperature changes due to a lot of factors like: activity, stress or even what you eat. Lack of sleep or activity also makes a difference . you are fine.

People don't agree on this, but I say 70 degrees farenheit.  I leave it to you to do the math if you prefer celsius.

Yes, that is fine and within the normal range.  Although the quoted average is 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C), it can vary by several degrees higher or lower.  Your temperature will vary depending on different factors, such as your metabolism and how fast or slow it is, time of day, if you've exercised recently, etc.\n\nThis also will depend on which method you have been using to take your temperature.  Typically the most reliable temperature reading is either tympanic (your ear) or rectal.  Rectal temp is more reliable because it is more invasive, and it is going to give you a higher reading of your temperature than an oral reading as it is closer to your body's core.  Least accurate, and the one that will give you the lowest temperature reading, is axillary temp (underneath your armpit) as it is the least invasive.  So another thing to consider is whether you have been using the same thermometer and the same method--tympanic, rectal, oral, or axillary--to obtain your temperature, and whether or not it has been the same time of day every day, etc.\n\nSo the bottom line is, generally you should not worry if you think your temperature is low, as what is regular for one person can be higher or lower than the average.  If you still are concerned, though, you may want to consult with your doctor.

These are all good answers. The one thing that I find useful when thinking about this is that body temperature is tightly controlled around specific target temperatures, or set points, like a thermostat controls room temperature. Fever is an adjustment upward of the set point. The control is still there, the target temperature has just been elevated. In some instances, the set point can be raised too high, or control seems to be lost, but generally the body manages the response well.

~~~~~~~~Temperature~~~~Heart Rate~~~~Respiration Rate\nHuman:  97.8º-99.0º F~~~~60-100 beats/min~~~~15-20 breaths/min\n\nHorse:  99.5º-101.5º~~~~30-40 beats/min~~~~8-16 breaths/min\n\nFerret: 100º-104º~~~~180-250 beats/min~~~~33-36 breaths/min\n\nThe normal body temperature of a person varies depending on gender, recent activity, food and fluid consumption, time of day, and, in women, the stage of the menstrual cycle. Normal body temperature, according to the American Medical Association, can range from 97.8º F (or Fahrenheit, equivalent to 36.5º C, or Celsius) to 99.0º F (37.2º C).\n\nThe first link is for the human info. The second is for the horses. If you go to the last link (the ucuca.umich.edu link), that's the ferret one. To find the info I gave, scroll down to the "Monitoring & Recovery" section and it'll be in the first paragraph.

Middle of the road 72.  Too hot is unhealthy because it incubates germs and dries out mucous membranes.  Too cold is bad for circulation.

Your body is an engine which continuously produces heat, so it needs to stay in an environment cooler than itself to stay comfortable. \n\nEnergy flows from high to low (or in this case warm to cold), and there are ideal temperatures for your body to operate at. If it's too warm outside then your body can not cool itself as efficiently, so it is uncomfortable. On the other hand, if it's too cold then your body is giving off more heat to the environment than it can generate to keep comfortable. For many people this "ideal" temperature (room temperature) is about 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit, but based on a persons ability to generate heat and their circulation, this value will change.

Generally the most important is temperature. the Human body is most comfortable between 18 - 21 degrees (around this). This varies slightly depending on the temperature outside. Humidity. Another is light. Diffused light from the sun is more comfortable than direct sunlight as we do not like glare. \n\nFactors like these vary depending on what is happening within the building e.g a sports facility would need to be cooler because people get hotter exercising and it becomes more humid because of the moisture created by people.\n\nThese factors can be measured using items such as a thermometer, humidity gauge (don't know the name) and a light meter. \n\nThis is all I know about the subject.\nI hope it helps.
