Question 2

what it can die when hypothermia what the mechanism ? thank

Accepted Answer

Hypothermia: Hypothermia is a condition in which the body's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and body functions. This is generally considered to be less than 35.0 °C (95.0 °F).  Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia there is shivering and mental confusion. In severe hypothermia the heart rate slows and can stop.  The internal mechanisms cannot replace lost heat.

Question 3

Question 4

how long would it take to die if hypothermia?

Depends: If you are dry, naked on an ice floe, you are much safer than wet or immersed in water because the heat loss is so much faster in the water.....It is best to avoid hypothermia and death.

Question 5

if someone fell through a frozen lake how long would it take for them to die from  hypothermia?

Accepted Answer

Trick Question ; ): Someone falling into very cold water would likely die in a few minutes, but from drowning, hot hypothermia. If that same person was wearing a personal floatation device (pfd, or life jacket), they wouldn't die from hypothermia for more like an hour. Cold water causes a gasp reflex and quickly progressive loss in muscle strength - drowning happens quickly. Core temperature falls much more slowly.
