Temperature of reaction inside your body?

Question

Inside your body there are hundreds of reactions...some under really high temperature...how can your body (your cells) can tolerate that high temperature and not break apart?

Answer 1

The realy high temp reactions are in small amounts in very small volumes of your body. The heat is disipated over the much larger volumes of your whole body. Like the heat from a cars motor being spead out into the radiator.

Answer 2

reactions will usually emit a small amount of energy, but nearly every chemical reaction that occur in the body will occur at 98.6 F as long as the reaction's enzyme is present. In fact, high heat tends to break down these enzymes and stop the chemical reactions from occuring.
