Question

Which statement is true of the human body?

A.

B.
It maintains a constant internal temperature.

C.
Its internal temperature only varies by about 40 degrees F.

D.
Its internal temperature is always about 10 degrees hotter or colder than the external environment.

Answer 1

Your body will only be able to function and maintain it's homeostasis at a constant stable temperature of 98 degree's farenheit. It will usually only be able to take a min of 96 or a max of 102. Usually at hitting those max/min, the body will have begun to loose it's ability to mantain that temperature and it could then start beginning a downward spiral of Hypo- and hyper- Thermia, which is very dangerous.
