4. Body Temperature
Normal Body Temperature (NBT) –
98.6
0
F(37
0
C)
Range of NBT -----(97
0
F to 99
0
F)
Rectal Temp -----(0.5
0
F to 1
0
F) above
the Oral
Rectal Temp reflects the internal body
Temp (Core Body Temp)
Core Body Temp remain almost constant
Skin Temp (Shell Temp)-----Variable

5. Temperature Homeostasis
Keep the body temp within a very narrow
range
Range of NBT (97
0
F to 99
0
F)
Temperatures above this:
denature enzymes and block metabolic
pathways
Temperatures below this:
slow down metabolism and affect the brain.

heat loss (Heat Balance)
Heat Balance
Heat production= Heat loss
Heat production is called
thermogenesis
Heat loss is called as thermolysis

15. Feedback system
1) Receptor

from cutaneous
thermoreceptors

thermoreceptors called
central thermoreceptors

blood temperature
