Band cells are the immature form of neutrophils and are produced rapidly during an infection. A large percentage of band cells in a venous blood sample indicate an infectious process occurring in the body.
Sensitivity to temperature is a skin sense that is related to the human need to maintain internal temperature balance or thermal homeostasis. Temperature sensitivity is important in protecting one's self from intense temperature that may cause damage to the body.
The (isobaric; also called isopiestic) specific heat capacity (CP) has a shallow minimum at about 36 Â°C at 100 kPa (D2O ~120 Â°C) with a particularly steep negative slope below 0 Â°C [15, 67] (see right). It is interesting that this minimum is close to the body temperature of warm-blooded animals.
