The Extreme Summer in the Mohave Desert
The Mohave Desert spreads across Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and some parts of the State of California; and its climate reflects extremes of hot and cold. At winter temperatures are cold, as low as 8 degree Fahrenheit, while the summer reaches about 120 degree Fahrenheit, winds are present year round and blow at about 25 MPH regularly and there are gusts of 75MPH. There is no time were the extreme weather is sustainable.
I was wrong and learned the lesson the hard way, mostly when extreme things happen to someone, the first thing that comes to mind is taking an extreme measure; I was one of those people who took extreme measures. My decision to move to Nevada was made in two weeks’ time when -16 Fahrenheit cold weather

The scientific, medical explanation about hyperthermia is that thermal regulation centers around the brain help to maintain the internal body temperature by adjusting the amount of salts in perspiration. Electrolytes help the cells in body tissues maintain water balance. In hot weather, a healthy body will lose enough water to cool the body while creating the lowest level of electrolyte imbalance. If the body loses too much salt and fluid, symptoms of dehydration will occur. The healthy human body keeps a steady temperature of 37 degree Celsius, in hot weather, the body perspires. As perspiration evaporates from the skin, the body is cooled, then the thermal regulating system in the brain helps the body adapt to high temperature.
The extreme heat waves of the Mohave dessert are not responsible for damaging the magnificent gadget of the human body, but our day to day decisions on how and where we want to live has a great impact in our healthy lifestyle. I believe the weather is one of the most important factors when we choose a place to live; extremes in any regards are not healthy, this applies to the weather
Hypothermia: marked cooling of core temperature that is below the required normal for normal metabolism and body functions. This is generally considered to be 95.0’F. Produces depression of the central nervous and respiratory systems, vasoconstriction, alterations in microcirculation and coagulation, and ischemic tissue damage.
Body temperature is maintained within a fairly regular range by the hypothalamus that is found in the brain. The hypothalamus
I was wrong and I learned the lesson in a hard way, mostly when extreme things happen to someone, the first thing come to our mind is taking an extreme measure. I was one of those people who took an extreme measure. My decision moved to Nevada was made in two weeks’ time when -16 Fahrenheit cold weather kicked in South Dakota, and when the days are dark and depression hanged and rolled on my shoulder. I remember those exciting days that I drove from South Dakota to Nevada and how the weather in Nevada open its(his) arms and comforted me; very peaceful and calm down weather, I felted like eating the cold yogurt in a warm weather. I never forget those days, I truly ask the question to myself, how priceless is the beautiful air we breathe in, the sun set sky images of an ombre of dark purple painting behind the mountains, and the moon hangs on the sky before the sun set.
The muscular system also helps to keep us warm and keep us at the correct temperature. Thermoregulation is a process that allows your body to maintain its correct temperature of 37 degrees c. Muscles contribute to your bodies temperature because they receive messages from the brain when you are cold. Our bodies response to being cold is shivering which warms you up on the other hand if you are
The human body’s normal core body temperature is 98.6 degrees fahrenheit or 37.0 degrees celsius. Once the body’s core temperature rises above 40.0 degrees celsius hyperthermia quickly occurs causing physiological effects on the nervous system including some severe
Hypothermia is reduced body temperature that happens when a body dissipates more heat than it absorbs. In humans, it is defined as a body core temperature below .
People who are outdoors get these disorders. The elderly, infants, and children without heat, clothing, or food are at a higher risk of getting hypothermia. The mentally ill are also at a great risk. Young children with seizure have a high chance of suffering from hyperthermia.
The cold air of Canada contributes to these temperatures in the state. Arizona’s deserts experience temperatures over 125 degrees. This goes to show that Arizona can indeed have cold winters and hot summers just as any other state. Alaska, likewise Arizona, have temperatures and climate that vary dramatically through season. Certain parts of Alaska can reach up to 90 degrees during the summertime.
At the point when an Amacore oil tractor trailer in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia demonstrates ineffective, Captain Frank Towns and co-pilot A.J. are sent to stop the surgery of the operation and pass on the work gathering out of the desert. Be that as it may, in transit to Peiping, a John Major rubble storm weakens one motor, pressuring them to crash arrive their C-119 Flying Boxcar in an uncharted range of the Gobi Desert. Kyle tumbles to his demise and the accident murders Dr. Gerber and Newman. Their cargo comprises of used parts and execute from the apparatus, the rig's team, and Elliot, a wanderer. At the point when the dust tempest closes, it gets to be apparent that they are 200 miles off base with just a month's procurement of dihydrogen
This induced state of hypothermia is essential to protect tissue from ischemia and reperfusion injury. If you recall from earlier, ischemia is a deficiency of blood supply due to vasoconstriction. Reperfusion injury is the damage to tissue caused when blood supply returns to tissue after a period of ischemia. Inducing hypothermia stops the process of ischemia from affecting the other tissues in the body. This allows for the regeneration of ATP in the body when blood flow is restored. “Induced hypothermia generates a state of metabolic depression that preserves cellular energy when oxygen and substrates are limited (Alam, 2009)”. Hypothermia constricts the activity of the sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+ ATPase pump) pump. The inactivation of this pump conserves ATP in the cell, suppressing the need for oxygen (Alam,2009).
Humans are able to regulate their body temperature by sweating. Sweating, also known as perspiration is explained as the release of a salt-based fluid from our sweat glands.As sweat evaporates from the skin, it
Describe the climate: What is the general weather pattern, explain in detail- giving the temperature averages and precipitation. Explain why this place has the type of climate that they do. Identify if this is place is in the tropics, mid-latitude, or high latitude region.
Integumentary has three functions for thermoregulate in body. “Thermoreceptors, Vasoconstriction/vasodilation and Perspiration.” When the body is hot, blood goes into the surface of the skin. Vasodilation gets massage from the thermoregulation that most of the heat is lost. By “Perspiration”, the skin starts sweating, with this function the body get cool
Therapeutic hypothermia occurs in three phases, which include induction, maintenance, and rewarming. This process must be controlled to prevent and or control adverse reactions like arrhythmias, skin break down, and electrolyte imbalances. Maintaining the target body temperature is crucial
The majority of desert fathers and mothers lived an asceticism spirituality. A spirituality that involves self-sacrificing one’s own will in order to do the will of God. In order to fulfill this task, the desert fathers and mothers isolated themselves from societies because they saw that man was being taken over by the weakness of finding gratification in material things. Therefore, they took up a life of solitude and prayer through which they were able to provide us with examples and sayings that truly put into perspective God’s teachings. It is important to understand that they did not isolate themselves with the purpose of getting away from men and forget about them. On the contrary it was with the goal to grow in love for God and men.
