2. Hypothermia: Human Response to Cold Temperatures In hypothermia, the body temperature is lowered due primarily to exposure to extremely cold weather (below 10°C). Since energy transfer is from higher temperature to lower temperature, the body begins to lose heat to the colder surroundings. As the body loses too much heat, physiological responses increase heat production in the body. The source of internal heating continues until carbohydrate reserves are depleted. Carbohydrates serve as biochemical supply of readily available stored energy. Once the reserves are depleted, the body temperature begins to drop. Enumerate and explain the human physiological responses to cold temperatures in terms of concepts of heat and thermodynamics. 2
