Body temperature refers to the internal temperature of an organism, typically measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Maintaining a stable body temperature is crucial for the proper functioning of bodily processes and overall health. Body temperature is regulated by the thermoregulatory system, which includes mechanisms such as sweating, shivering, and vasodilation. Abnormal body temperature, either too high (fever) or too low (hypothermia), can indicate underlying health issues or environmental factors. Research in the area of body temperature focuses on understanding the mechanisms of thermoregulation, the impact of temperature on various physiological processes, and developing diagnostic tools and treatments for temperature-related disorders.
