Cold adversely affects primarily the small blood vessels of man. What happens to the organs and tissues of the person next? The vessels in the limbs instinctively constrict to conserve heat. It is due to this the blood supply to internal organs is increased and maintained a stable internal body temperature. That's why circulation of blood in the extremities slows. The first frozen fingers and toes and ears and nose — they are the least protected due to the fact that they thin fat layer. First, the skin freezes, and then the subcutaneous layer, vessels, meters’muscles, nerves and even bone. And it does not need ultra-low temperatures, in particular, as -20C. The temperature at which it is possible to SuperCool, can be even positive. With hypothermia the body temperature is reduced to 350 and below.
