At the normal set point, the body temperature, as measured with an oral thermometer, will be approximately 37Â°C (98.6Â°F). If body temperature rises above 37.2Â°C, activity in the control center targets two effectors: (1) muscle tissue in the walls of blood vessels supplying the skin and (2) sweat glands.
It is generally accepted that normal body temperature ranges between 36.1C (97F) to 37.2C (99F). 'A Critical Appraisal of 98.6F, the Upper Limit of the Normal Body Temperature, and Other Legacies of Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich', JAMA. 1992;268(12):1578-1580.
