If our
body
temperature
falls much below 35°C, the
control
centre
in the
brain
stops working. The
result
is that we can no longer control our body temperature: the
metabolic
rate
falls and the body temperature gets lower and lower. Eventually we go into a
coma
. This is called
hypothermia
, and if no
action
is taken the
person
will
die
.
