Do You Know Why You SHIVER After A Cold Bath? Read This by Nobody: 11:23pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
Shivers are reflexes which are things your body does automatically to keep you safe and healthy. Reflexes are controlled by your nervous system, which is made up of your brain, your spinal cord, and lots and lots of little nerves that stretch out all over your body. Nerves are like little strings or wires that carry information. What kind of information? Well, your nerves sense that the cool water of the lake has lowered your body temperature. Your body needs to stay at a toasty 98.6° Fahrenheit (37° Celsius) for you to be safe and comfortable. The nerves send signals saying, "I'm cold! Warm me up!" Muscles in Action That's when things really start to get interesting. The signals go to your brain (telling you to wrap in the towel) and to your spinal cord, which sends a message to other nerves all over your body. What happens next? Your muscles tighten and loosen really fast. Why? They're trying to warm you up, just like taking a jog around the lake would do. Once you get all snug and cozy in your towel and your body warms back up, your brain and nerves tell your muscles to stop shivering. There are other times when you might shiver, too. Sometimes you'll shiver when you're excited or afraid. When you feel these things, your brain and nerves send out messages through your body that cause your muscles to get excited, so you shiver. |
