When your body temperature begins to rise, the flow of blood to the skin increases and then the heat passes out of the body. What happens when your body temperature drops?

Answer:

When your body temperature drops, your heart, nervous system and other organs can't work normally. Left untreated, hypothermia can lead to complete failure of your heart and respiratory system and eventually to death. Hypothermia is often caused by exposure to cold weather or immersion in cold water.
