Answer:

As one age, the bodies become subtle to cold temperatures. This is generally due to decline in the metabolic rate. As one age, the bodies lose the tendency of producing sufficient heat to sustain the usual temperature of 98.6 degrees. In addition to this, thinning of the skin is another thing, which may contribute to the feeling of cold in older individuals.  

With age, the physical tendency of the body declines, and the body does not function as it used to earlier. A decline in temperature can make the older adults very cold, even if they are dressed warmly. There are various researchers, which shows that older individuals exhibit low body temperatures in comparison to the younger ones.  

Some of the factors that can contribute to cold sensitivity in older adults are:  

1. Poor metabolic rate

2. Loss of elasticity of the blood vessels.  

3. Low blood pressure

4. Thinning of the fat layer underneath the skin

5. Physical issues and exposure to cold water

Answer: To be in the qualifying weight range wrestler have to lose weight for 8 weeks more.

Explanation:

Current weight of Wrestler = 189 pounds

Maximum Weight required to get qualify = 185 pounds

Weight required to reduced by wrestler= 189 pounds - 185 pounds = 4 pounds

0.5 pounds is reduced in 1 week

1 pound will  reduce in =\frac{1}{0.5} weeks= 2 weeks

6. What regulatory processes would your body use if you were trapped by a blizzard in an unheated, uninsulated cabin in the wood
Simora [160]

Answer:

Shivering and sweating.

Explanation:

A prolonged exposure to extreme cold environment would activate the brain's heat-gain center. Your brain's heat-gain center causes shivering in order to increase our muscle contraction which leads to warming of our body.  Increase sweating is the regulatory processes our body use if it experience very high temperature. In order to regulate internal temperature of body, our body remove water which takes up heat with itself to lower th internal temperature.
