    This document provides information about body temperature regulation and measurement. It states that the hypothalamus controls body temperature and has temperature receptors located all over the body. When the body is cold, the hypothalamus induces shivering, increases thyroid hormones, and metabolism. Normal body temperature is around 37°C and can fluctuate by up to 1°C during the day. Fever is considered a temperature over 38°C orally. High fevers between 39.4-41.1°C can cause dehydration, confusion and seizures.
