Thermoregulation in Humans (Physiological thermoregulation)
Thermoregulation is a mechanism by which mammals maintain body temperature with tightly controlled self-regulation independent of external temperatures.
The extremes of body temperature, it can affect your body’s ability to function.
For example:
if your body temperature falls to 95°F (35°C) or lower, you have “hypothermia.” This condition can potentially lead to cardiac arrest, brain damage, or even death.
If your body temperature rises as high as 107.6°F (42 °C), you can suffer brain damage or even death
