The female should be gently wrapped with dry blankets due to exposure of temperature of about 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Explanation:
Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold conditions can impair the body’s temperature control system.
In the above case the patient is exposed to extreme cold condition in a wood with a freezing temperature of 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 degrees Celsius) which leads to hypothermia and frostbite.
Extreme cold conditions can freeze the tissue layers of the parts of the skin exposed like those of the face, hands and feet especially. Due to this the skin becomes white (even grayish yellow or blue) and waxy, cold and numb, and the outer surface may become hard and blistered. There will also be extreme pain, stinging and tingling sensation in the exposed areas.
These changes are mainly due to impaired blood circulation and hypothermia. Hypothermia which is lowering of body temperature causes confusion and lethargy.
The first-aid given for frostbite primarily includes warming the body. The affected person’s body should be covered with warm and dry blankets gently and loosely and any wet clothes should be removed.
So when the body is warmed, the body temperature also will increase and correct the hypothermic symptoms like lethargy and confusion.
Dr. Jemison, the first woman of color in the world to go into space, served six years as a NASA astronaut. She flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, STS-47 Spacelab J(apan) mission in September 1992 and was NASA’s first Science Mission Specialist performing experiments in material science, life science and human adaptation to weightlessness.
The free nerve endings
can detect pain, temperature, itch and hair movement. Merkel's disks can detect pressure, position and static touch features. Pacinian corpuscles are sensitive to vibration while Meissner's corpuscles are sensitive to light and touch.
The answer to this question would be: alopecia areata
In this question, there is a certain area of the scalp that didn't have any hair. The best term to this condition would be alopecia areata.
There are a few reasons why a spot of baldness can appear. It can be caused by stress that inducing autoimmune disease. Before diagnosing a patient with this you must exclude the possibility of fungal infection as it can destroy the hair and make it look bald.
