When you are too cold, you shake or shiver to try to keep blood moving and create heat. When this scale tips too far and your body becomes too hot, you suffer from hyperthermia. The opposite - the body temperature being below normal - is called hypothermia. ...
What Is Hypothermia? Just as body temperature can rise too high, it can also dip too low. Readings below 95 degrees Fahrenheit are known ashypothermia. Hypothermia happens after prolonged exposure to frigid temperatures. Your body loses heat faster than it can produce, eventually using up its st...
What are the common causes of hypothermia hyperthermia and dehydration? Hypothermia is "a decrease in the core body temperature to a level at which normal muscular and cerebral functions are impaired." There are several things that can lead up to hypothermia such as cold temperatures, improper clo...

Make sure you don’t get confused between hypothermia and hyperthermia. Hyperthermia is very different from hypothermia. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. Hyperthermia, otherwise known as overheating, is a condition where an individual’s body temperature is elevated beyond normal due to failed...
Damage to the hypothalamus can result in aggression, stress, fatigue, hypothermia and hyperthermia, changes in weight, and an overactive or underactive sex drive. Secondary Limbic System Parts A few structures are thought to be closely connected to the limbic system instead of being involved as pr...
Blankets designed to combat hypothermia by either preventing the loss of body heat or raising the body’s internal temperature are called hyperthermia blankets. Some manufacturers offer blankets capable of both lowering and raising the body’s temperature. These hyper/hypothermia blankets use water ...
