A body temperature Question...

Question

Why is it that even though your body temperature is approximately 37 degrees celcius we find anything above 25 degrees celcius too hot i.e. the weather. Surely 37 degrees is the perfect temperature to us. We don't complain that are insides are too hot. What's going on?!

Answer 1

Hello

first of all , the answer is in Thermodynamics and physics field.

there is few ways of Heat exchange.

when it is throw Vacume and almost the same way through Air, it is "Radiation heat".

'when it is by vector  it is "convection"

there is other ways but lets focus on this 2.

if you will touch water at 37C and keep you're fingers inside , you wont feel the heat in some point when you're skin will get even with the water temperture , even though your'e body generate 37C , you're Skin feels the temperature out side at about 25C average.

when the temp will get to 37C you wont geel it anymore as Heat .

at hot day with 37C, you should know that it tested only at shade, so it would be much more out side , above 40 and so you will feel it very much.

at shade , you're skin heat receptors will again feel the difference and how ever in diffrent ways since of the air movments , and so you're brain will get the massage of heat.

have a nice day  :)

Answer 2

Because we are generating heat.

To dissipate the excess heat we need cooler temperature.

If we don't eat we won't produce heat.Then we may have to hibernate to conserve heat.

Answer 3

b'coz we r warm blodded animals nd our body temp does not change with change in environment

so it remains constant

n change in surrounding temperature adds to our body temp n the feeling of hot or cold comes up..............
