Q. If the human body is 98 degrees why do we get uncomfortable in hot weather and why cant we eat food that hot?

A. Because, biochemical reactions that release heat are constantly happening throughout the body. This heat is dispelled by a combinantion of heat exchange from the blood to the outside environment, and the evaporation of sweat. Even at very low temps humans sweat. At "comfortable" temps between 75-80 degrees farenheit, the amount of heat dispelled by sweat and exchange from the blood is balanced with the heat being generated by internal biochemical reactions. When the outside temp starts to warm, even though sweat may evaporate faster, the body has a harder time keeping up with the heat increase and cooling itself.

A. The body is generating heat constantly. It needs to dissipate the heat in order to stay at 98.6. If the environment temp is the same, then there's nowhere for the body heat to go. The body will overheat as a consequence.

Why does the human body react so negatively when it is 98 degrees outside?
Q. I'm thinking if the human body runs at 98.6 degrees on the inside, why does the same temp on the outside have such an adverse effect? I mean, sure we all know the body is (about) 75% water, and, if a glass of water is in a temp of 32 degrees it freezes, at 212 it boils. If the body experiences 98.6 degrees on the outside we sweat, we can experience fatigue, body aches, etc. Why? if the temp on the outside is exactly the same as the inside why do we have such a difficult time? You would think the exact same temp would present ideal conditions for the body since the temps are the same. Conversly, a temp of 50 degrees less ( or 48.6 ) should have more damaging effects. Certainly 50 degrees higher (or 148.6) would. Our organs operate at 98.6 [cont.]

A. The metabolic reactions required for life generate large amounts of heat. The body must constantly be cooling off. The oxidation of carbohydrates is similar (reaction rates differ) in the amount of heat energy released to burning ethanol. It doesn't have anything to do with the bp of water. Water boils at 212 fahrenheit. Even if it was only 2 degrees from bp the enthalpy of vaporization is much MUCH higher than the energy required to raise the same mass of water 10-20 degrees.

Q. If it feels like 108 shouldn't they just say the temperature is 108. By the way, this is really happening today in Atlanta. Too hot to breathe.

A. The Heat Index is the measure of the Warm/Moist Air Parcel. The temperature is just the measure of the warm air parcel. Typically however, your body can feel both the moisture in the air and the actual warm air by itself, which is why they have the heat index. Although in reality, the temp is much less not equating the moisture along with the warm air parcel.

A. a) Two standard deviations = probability of 5% b) This is an incorrect question. Do you mean a *maximum* temperature? In that case, it would be 3 deviations above the mean, that is 100 degrees F.

If our body temp is 98.6 degrees why does it feel hot outside if it is cooler than that?
Q. I mean if it is 90 degrees it feels really hot outside, but we are little heat boxes walking around at almost 100 degrees internal temperature. Shouldnt it only feel hot outside if it is hotter than us?
Asked by ezstrider461 - Fri Sep 1 13:11:15 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. We are constantly generating heat, so if it gets to be 90 degree our body heat isn't dissapated, so the body continues to produce heat, but never loses any. Therefore our actual body temp. rises above 98.6 and we feel hot.

Q. Why is if it is 98 degrees out we extremely hot?
Asked by teehee haha - Fri Mar 20 16:05:13 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Body heat is a by-product of metabolism. Not all of the energy in glucose is transformed into ATP, meaning that there is a lot of waste heat. All that extra heat has to go somewhere, and since humans have evolved to live in climates that are, by and large, cooler than 98 degrees, we have evolved to dump most of that heat into the environment by simple radiation. If the outside environment is too hot, then it becomes difficult to radiate that waste heat away, and we must resort to secondary measures, like sweating, otherwise the body temperature will rise too high. Likewise, if we're in a cold environment, we end up radiating too much heat, and our body temperature drops (we have evolved ways to deal with this too, like constricting the… [cont.]

Asked by Mrs.Smith - Sat Mar 15 02:27:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In this case we assume Standard Distribution. Also, I will assume that you were correct with 98.20 and not 98.60. You nee a Z table. On a z-table you find where the z is .49 (which will be .5 below 98.20 + .49 above 98.20 giving you the 99% of people below the temperature you are looking for). On a z table this value is: 2.33. This means that the temperature is 2.33 standard deviations above the mean, or: 98.20 + (.62*2.33) = 99.6446 degrees farenheit. Only 1% of healthy people will fall above this temperature. On the other hand, 98.20 - (.62*2.33) = 96.7554. This tells you that only 1% of normal people fall BELOW this temperature.

A. The body constantly generates heat. Higher ambient temperatures make it more difficult for the body to shed excess heat. A feeling of being 'hot' results. ***
