The correct answer is 98.4°F and 37°C.

Key Points

  • The normal temperature of the human body is 37 °C or 98.4°F.
  • A temperature above 100.4 °F(38°C)  most often means you have a fever.
  • Normal body temperature is also called the normal or core body temperature, which is based on Homeostasis.
  • ​Homeostasis is a phenomenon in which the body regulates its functions to keep internal conditions as stable as possible.
  • The normal human body temperature border is typically stated as 36.5–37 °C (97.7–98.6 °F).
  • Human body temperature depends on gender, age, time of day, exertion level, health status
    • Also in what part of the body the measurement is taken at.
  • Body temperature is kept in the normal range by thermoregulation, in which adaptation of temperature is triggered by the central nervous system.

Important Points

  • Conversion of temperature from one unit to another
    • The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) times 9/5 plus 32:
    • T(°F) = T(°C) × 9/5 + 32 or
    • T(°F) = T(°C) × 1.8 + 32
  • Common conversions from Celsius to Fahrenheit
    • 25°C = 77°F
    • 30°C = 86°F
    • 33°C = 91.4°F
    • 35°C = 95°F
