    What systems will be affected?


    Circulatory System Respiratory System The rest of your body too.
    Your Cardiovascular system is also the way your body stays warm. If your blood gets cold, a doctor may need to rewarm your blood. Your body needs to be be around 98 degrees to function. If your temperature gets below that, then you have Hypothermia. If it gets above that, then you have Hyperthermia. Studies show that if you are cold, you dont breathe very much. little breathing may lead to Hypoxia (Not enough Oxygen getting to the brain). Your body needs both of these systems to function, so Hypothermia can be a deadly illness.
