174. Warmth of the body. Heat is produced by oxi- dation. This warms the whole body and also gives it power to think, and move, and work. Oxidation takes place in every cell of the body, but most of the fat is oxidized in the cells of the lungs, and most of the sugar in the cells of the liver. Muscle cells also produce a great deal of heat when they work. The body has the power of making its fires burn high or low as its work needs, but its own warmth always remains the same. A thermometer show...s its temperature to be 98. 5 degrees F. , whether we feel warm or cold. 175. The feeling of heat and cold. We sometimes feel very warm and again very cold, but our bodies always have the same degree of heat. We feel warmth mostly in the skin. So if the skin is warm, we feel warm all over, but if it is cold, we feel chilly all over. In fevers a sick person often feels very cold, for his skin may be cold while his body may really be in a hot fever. 176. How the body varies the heat. When we work hard, we need a great deal more heat than when we are still.
