Is there a difference between "core" body temperature and just your temperature?


I hear the words "core body temperature" a lot when someone is referring to hypothermia, but I didn't know if it was any different than just your temperature.

The core temperature will be higher than that of the periphery.. Is why it is imperative to have that determined when taking high risk ventures.
