Are humans warm-blooded?
Solution
Yes, Humans are warm-blooded
Explanation
Warm-blooded organisms
The ability of an organism to regulate its internal body temperature independently of the environment is called homeotherms. They have a very narrow range of temperature fluctuation and are also called warm-blooded animals. All mammals and birds are warm-blooded animals.
Humans
They have the ability to regulate the internal body temperature, thus warm-blooded or homeothermic organisms. The internal human body temperature ranges between 36.1oC to 37.20C (97°F to 99°F). Any fluctuations beyond this range can be fatal.
Birds
Warm-blooded birds maintain a constant body temperature that does not change in response to changes in the ambient temperature. Birds use a range of metabolic processes that generate or release heat to maintain a constant body temperature. The feathers of the birds protect them from the heat and cold.
Cold-blooded Animals
Animals cannot adjust their internal body temperature to the changing surroundings. They typically struggle to thrive in high-temperature environments. Reptiles and fish are two examples. This holds true for all animals, including worms, fish, amphibians, and reptiles, except mammals and birds. When an animal has a body temperature that is virtually identical to its environment, it is said to have "cold blood." The body temperature of a fish swimming in water that is 40°F will be pretty close to that temperature. The identical fish will have a body temperature of about 60° F in water that is 60° F.
