body temperature question?

Question

Why can our body temperature be 98.6 degrees and we feel fine, but if it is 98.6 degrees outside one gets uncomfortable? best answer gets 10 points!

Answer 1

Our bodies are homeothrmic at 98.6 degrees F, but our bodies are always making more heat, so we need to constantly be cooling our bodies in order to keep things stable. If the outside temperature is also 98.6 F, then wee cannot cool ourselves using convection or radiation. Our two options are conduction, which involves immersing ourselves in a solution that is colder or direct contact with a cool object, thereby transfering the energy. The other option is evaporation which involves sweating. For most people, this is rather uncomfortable and/or unpleasant.

Answer 2

In order for the body to maintain the 98.6 internal temp, the outside temp must be lower than that in order to cool the body. if the outside temp is approaching 98.6 or gets higher, then the cooling process suffers. The body will then begin to work harder to cool down, but can't cool down, hence why we feel uncomfortable.

Answer 3

Our CORE body temperature is 98.6, but our extremities are colder. Even at rest, our bodies generate more heat than is needed to maintain body temperature down to fairly low outside temperatures. When the environment is as warm as our bodies, many of our mechanisms to get rid of excess heat no longer work and the last few (including sweating) kick into overdrive.

Answer 4

Your body is internally 98.6. The exterior is cooler. That is why you take your temp in your mouth or ???.

When it is 98.6 outside, you body cannot cool iteself as well as when it is say 70 or 80.

Answer 5

Heat transfer. Heat is always tranferred from a warm object to a cooler object. When the temperature outside is the same, there is very little heat transfer, and the heat that normally leaves our body stays in and around it. Stand facing a window in the winter, and you will experience radiative heat transfer to the colder surface. Touch the window, and you will experience conductive (direct) heat transfer.

Answer 6

I would say because our external environment keeps us cool/comfortable.
We are hot inside but with the wind, and lower temps outside it keeps our skin cool, which keeps us comfortable. We release our body heat into the cooler air.

When its hot out, its harder to release our inner heat into the environment. Its like putting plastic wrap on our body and holding in the heat.

Keeping in mind that again air/wind even when its hot out does help us to release some of our heat.

Answer 7

The mediated physique temperature is 37.6 ranges Celcius. (=ninety 9.7 ranges Fahrenheit, yet Fahrenheit isn't the professional commonplace). the often seen ±37C or ±ninety 8.6F is the temperature you will anticipate while measuring the temperature in the armpit. whether, that temperature is under the genuine physique temperature.

Answer 8

because its too hot for out body.?
