8. What is a medical detective?

9. What is a Medical Detective?
A Medical Detective is a person who uses his or her knowledge of science, technology, math, and communication to solve medical mysteries.
A variety of healthcare professionals act as medical detectives in identifying, treating, and preventing injury and illness in their patients.
These medical detectives are part of a larger group of professionals working in biomedical science.
Many careers participate in this work, including scientists, doctors, crime scene investigators, and biomedical engineers.

12. Fever!
ource/tdc02.sci.life.reg.fevervid/fev er/

13. Define homeostasis.
The way in which the human body maintains the internal environment at a steady state;balance
2. What is the hypothalamus?
The body’s “thermostat” in the brain, where the setpoint for body temperature is kept
How is a high temperature from a fever or infection different than a high temperature due to exercise or stress?
Fever from stress or exercise does not change the setpoint of the hypothalamus. Fever from infection does change the setpoint of the hypothalamus.

14. Why is a fever a good thing?
It is your body’s way of fighting infection. It actually helps to prevent the infection in your body from reproducing.
What temperature is a “good” fever?
101°F; 104°F or higher is dangerous
6. Feed a cold, starve a fever. Deprive your body of nutrients to keep the infection from reproducing.
