Humans are warm-blooded (endothermic) creatures. Humans maintain a relatively constant internal body temperature—roughly

(37 DEGREES CELCIUS.98.6 DEGREES FARENHEIT)

)—regardless of the surrounding environment, using metabolic energy to generate heat, rather than relying on external warmth.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Metabolic Heat Generation: Humans burn energy from food to maintain a stable "core" temperature.
Homeothermy: We maintain this stability, unlike cold-blooded (ectothermic) animals like reptiles, which adjust their temperature based on surroundings.
Mechanisms: Humans can generate heat by shivering in cold weather or cooling down through sweat, ensuring a consistent internal environment.
