Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core temperature,or the temperature of the deep body tissues,is under the control of the hypothalamus and remains within a narrow range.Skin or body surface temperature rises and falls as the temperature of the surrounding environment changes,and it fluctuates dramatically.Body tissues and cells function best within a relatively narrow temperature range,from 36° C to 38° C (96.8° F to 100.4° F),but no single temperature is normal for all people.For healthy young adults,the average oral temperature is 37° C (98.6° F).An acceptable temperature range for adults depends on age,gender,range of physical activity,hydration status,and state of health.
