Document Summary

Results in the body not being in homeostasis: homeostasis = balance of heat generation. Conductive: heat transfer when two surfaces are in contact, e. g. : direct contact with skin and hot object. Convection: heat transfer when one surface adds heat to the surroundings, e. g. : heat rising from stove element; baseboard heater. Radiation: energy is transmitted by electromagnetic waves, e. g. : skin exposed to sunlight. S = (m w) r v c e. A normal core temperature is 37 degrees c: a cold core temp is 27c and lower, a hot core temp is 47c and higher. A normal skin temperature is 33 or 34c: skin temp tends to be colder than core temps at a normal state. If the skin temp gets hot (the core is normal but the skin is hotter: the body will lose heat through behavior (turning on a fan)
