The Body's Reaction to Temperature Hazards

Your body strives to function optimally. This includes ensuring that all its organs and its internal temperature operate effectively. Homeostasis is a term that describes the body's regulating processes to ensure that it avoids or manages undue stress.

Your body runs best when its internal temperature is 98.5° F. When your body is exposed to temperatures that increase or decrease this temperature, your body reacts in an effort to achieve temperature stasis.
