Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Core temperature refers to the temperature of the abdominal and thoracic organs, the central nervous system, and the skeletal muscles, and is normally maintained relatively constant around 98.6°F (37°C). Option D accurately describes core temperature. Option A is incorrect because the temperature mentioned (100°F) is slightly higher than the normal range for core temperature. Option B is incorrect because it does not include the temperature of the skeletal muscles. Option C is incorrect because it refers to skin temperature, which is not core temperature. Option E is incorrect because it only refers to skin temperature and also includes an incorrect temperature value.
