what is the general term used for low body temperature?

Funny, all I've found so far is "low body temperature." There's hypothermia, but that's when the core temperature goes too low for the body to function properly, and I'm sure that's not what you mean.

Hypothermia is dangerously low body temperature, below 95 °F (35 °C).

* Being surrounded by too cold of an environment, having certain disorders, being unable to move, or a combination can cause body temperature to become too low.

* The person shivers but then may become confused and lose awareness.

* Getting warm and dry can lead to recovery unless body temperature is very low.

* If temperature is very low, doctors may warm the person with warmed oxygen and heated fluids given intravenously or passed into the abdominal or chest cavity through plastic tubes plus provide external heat.

nicely, this has to do with homeostasis. that's the upkeep of a persevering with inner environment. The physique temperature might desire to continuously be in basic terms appropriate. If it gets to chilly, particular comments mechanisms interior the physique turn directly to drop the temperature. This works vive versa. in many circumstances while it extremely is chilly, people positioned on socks and many bankets to stay heat, yet doing this definitely confuses the physique. it extremely is already working to maintain you heat, once you're making your self heat via wearing too many outfits then a various comments mechanism will turn directly to make your physique cool. So, you extremely get even less warm than earlier. This additionally works vice versa
