The correct answer is 37 °C.
Key Points
- The normal temperature of the human body is 37 °C.
- A temperature above 100.4 °F(38°C) most often means you have a fever caused by an infection or illness.
- Normal human body temperature is the prototypical temperature range found in humans.
- The normal human body temperature border is typically stated as 36.5–37 °C (97.7–98.6 °F).
- Human body temperature changes, it depends on gender, age, time of day, exertion level, health status, what part of the body the measurement is taken at, state of consciousness (waking, sleeping, sedated), and emotions.
- Body temperature is kept in the normal range by thermoregulation, in which adaptation of temperature is triggered by the central nervous system.
