In June 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineersbegan the Manhattan Project- The secret name for the 2 atomic bombs.
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.
Normal Body Temperature. Body temperature is usually measured by a thermometer placed in the mouth, the rectum, or the auditory canal (for tympanic membrane temperature). The normal oral temperature is 37Â° Celsius (98.6Â° Fahrenheit); rectally, it is 37.3Â° Celsius (99.2Â° Fahrenheit).The tympanic membrane temperature is a direct reflection of the body's core temperature. These values are based on a statistical average.. Hypothermia is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and function. For people in stage 1 hypethermia, body temperature drops by 1-2Â°C below normal temperature (35-36Â°C).
