factors affecting temperature: environment - correct-answer-room temperature/
temperature outside can lead to increase or decrease body temperature
fever - correct-answer-Abnormally high body temperature
important mechanism and enhances immune system
hyperthermia - correct-answer-abnormally high body temperature due to the
body inability to promote heat loss or reduce heat production
hypothermia - correct-answer-Abnormally low body temperature often
associated with exposure to cold and the body is unable to compensate
