body temperatures
Warmth within us
Body temperatures refers to the heat level of a living organism, typically measured in humans to assess health.
Normal human body temperature hovers around 98.6°F (37°C), though it varies by individual and time of day.
Fever indicates elevated temperature, often signaling infection: The nurse checked the patients' body temperatures every four hours.
