Controlling your
body temperature!
(Page 32)
- Staying in balance
- Inside all of the cells of your
body, lots of chemical reactions
are going on all controlled by
enzymes. Your body will not
function properly if you body ...
- Is the wrong temperature
- Does not have the right amount of water
- This is because the enzymes cannot work properly
- This is because the enzymes cannot work properly
- Has too much carbon
dioxide in the blood.
- Is the wrong temperature
- To maintain a constant internal environment,
inputs and outputs need to be balanced in the
body. This balancing is called homeostasis
- The factors shown below are kept at steady
levels by automatic control systems involving
nerves and hormones
- Inside all of the cells of your
body, lots of chemical reactions
are going on all controlled by
enzymes. Your body will not
function properly if you body ...
- Body temperature
- The temperature of the human body is usually
kept at around 37 degrees. this is core
temperature (at you fingers and toes it will be
cooler)

- How and
where body
temperature
is measured
- You can measure you
body temperature with
...
- A clinical thermometer in
the ear, mouth or anus
- Temperature sensitive
strips on the forehead
- Digital recording probes
on a finger, linked to a
computer
- A clinical thermometer in
the ear, mouth or anus
- Scientists and doctors can also use thermal
imaging. The heat given off by parts of the
body is converted to a visual image. This
shows which areas of the body are warmest
and coolest.
- You can measure you
body temperature with
...
- Too hot or too
cold
- It is dangerous if your body
temperature goes above or below the
core temperature (37 degrees)
- Above 40 degrees you will get
heat stroke and dehydration. If
it is not treated you may die.
- Below 35 degrees your boy
develops hypothermia and
if not treated this also leads
to death.
- Above 40 degrees you will get
heat stroke and dehydration. If
it is not treated you may die.
- It is dangerous if your body
temperature goes above or below the
core temperature (37 degrees)
- How you body gains and looses heat to
keep the core temperature constant.
- If you internal organs start to get too hot, the blood flowing through them
carries the heat away. the increased temperature is monitored by the brain.
The brain then brings about mechanisms to control temperature.
