For some medical procedures, doctors cool the patient's body before beginning. Follow- ing the procedure, doctors warm the patient back to normal temperature. Based on what you learned about reaction rates this unit, explain what purpose changing the temperature of the patient's body serves. Answer using 4 to 6 complete sentences.
