THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURES TO EXTREMELY HOT ENVIRONMENTS ON THE TEMPERATURES MEASURED AT THE TYMPANIC MEMBRANE, IN THE OESOPHAGUS AND IN THE RECTUM OF MEN.
Abstract
The responses of the oesophageal, tympanic, and rectal temperatures of resting nude human subjects were investigated in different thermal environments ranging from 50 to 130C (120 to 265F); changes in temperatures in the oesophagus and at the tympanic membrane appeared rapidly, were linear and of equal magnitude. They were considered to follow closely the blood temperature in the central circulation. The simultaneous changes in the rectal temperature were slow and irregular. (Author)
