Introduction As homeotherms, humans have the ability to control thermoregulatory mechanisms: physiological processes that are critical to maintaining core temperature within a very narrow limit. Although peripheral temperature fluctuates regularly & often largely in response to ambient temperature, core temperature must be maintained within a tight window in order for the human body to function properly. Throughout the course of circadian rhythm, the body’s core temperature can fluctuate by up…

Nobody knows how the battle really started or who shot the first bullet because the us army tried to disarm a deaf person but we do know that this is a very important battle in native american history.

Geographic video “Experiencing the sort of deep cold that we have in Alaska, you know it can be -30 to -70 degrees.” With that temperature an extreme condition of frostbite can happen to anyone with not supported shoes on one's expedition to/at Alaska. Hypothermia can plainly happen if one was there for the Klondike Gold Rush, when packs had to travel through the freezing cold water at critically low temperatures. For sure someone will be numb, with a kind of position like that. "Rather than…
