The measure of warmth within a living organism, influenced by environmental conditions and overall health, typically around 36 to 37 degrees Celsius in humans.
The sensation of warmth that can be felt when touching the skin of a living being, often associated with physical closeness or comfort.
The internal temperature of an animal that results from metabolic processes, interacting with the heat lost to the surrounding environment, which distinguishes between warm-blooded and cold-blooded species.
Example:
看護婦が彼の体温を計った。
A device used to measure the internal body temperature of a person or animal, often to assess health or detect fever.
An instrument specifically designed for taking readings of body heat, typically to monitor illness or physiological conditions.
A calibrated tool that provides a numerical value indicating how hot or cold the body is, which can vary based on environmental factors and overall health status.
Example:
看護婦は体温計で彼の体温を計った。
A measurement of body temperature taken in a calm state, typically upon waking, which is influenced by hormonal changes and can indicate reproductive health or menstrual cycle phases.
The baseline body temperature recorded without external factors affecting it, used primarily by women to help track ovulation and inform fertility awareness.
The lowest resting body temperature determined in the early morning, which can fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and is utilized for both contraception and diagnosis of gynecological conditions.
Example:
基礎体温をつけています。
A medical condition characterized by an abnormally low body temperature, often due to prolonged exposure to cold environments, leading to various physiological disturbances.
A state in which the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, resulting in a temperature drop that can impair bodily functions and may require medical attention.
A health risk that occurs when the core body temperature falls below the normal range, potentially causing symptoms such as shivering, confusion, and fatigue, and may progress to serious complications if not addressed.
The physiological process by which an animal maintains its body temperature within a stable range, allowing it to adapt to varying environmental conditions. This mechanism is particularly advanced in warm-blooded animals.
The system of adjustments an organism employs to manage heat production and loss, enabling functions such as sweating in response to heat and shivering or blood vessel constriction in response to cold.
A biological regulatory function that helps maintain an organism's internal temperature, ensuring homeostasis through various behavioral and physiological responses.
