Human body temperature
The normal human body temperature is considered 98.6 degrees F (37 C) although recent studies suggest it may acutally be 98.2. [1][2]
Body temperature regulation
Regulating the body temperature is a series of neural feedback mechanisms operated primarily through the hypthalamus. [3]
