The dangers of cold temperatures can also further be understood due to the vasodilation which reduces the core body temperature; the elderly, young children and alcoholics are likely to develop hypothermia quicker than healthy individuals due to this. The hypothalamus is responsible for detecting changes in temperature within the environment. When exposed to a cold environment, the hypothalamus will cause the peripheral blood vessels of the body to constrict to reduce blood flow to these areas, preserving the core body temperature. The hypothalamus may also stimulate the skeletal muscles to begin contracting rapidly, known as shivering, to increase the metabolism and production of heat within the body. However, if the body is exposed to these cold temperatures for a long duration, the body will continue to lose heat in an attempt to heat up the surrounding environment. If the body is able to warm itself back up and either be removed from the cold environment or establish an equilibrium with the body temperature and surrounding environmental temperature, then the previously vasoconstricted blood vessels will begin to vasodilate. This causes an increase in peripheral blood flow, allowing for more blood to flow to the skin in an attempt to dissipate this heat. The information regarding the changes in blood pressure due to the cold can be further applied to increase safety among those that are more susceptible to these dangers. These blood pressure changes have little effect on healthy people, however, it can severely affect people with cardiovascular disease \cite{Xu_2019}. This knowledge of the effects of cold temperatures on muscle fatigue can further be applied in a clinical setting to reduce the muscle twitching effects of different diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease and Cerebral Palsy. Based upon the current research and physiological responses due to cold temperatures, we hypothesize that if the body is exposed to a cold environment then the motor function will decrease and homeostatic tendencies will increase in an attempt to return the body to homeostasis.
