      Summary: We study cross-sectional temperature distribution in in-vivo tissues of a human limb employing variational finite element approach. The outermost surface of the limb is assumed to be exposed to the atmosphere. The physiological and physical parameters like rate of metabolic heat generation, blood mass flow rate and thermal conductivity are assumed to vary in the subregions independently. Numerical results have been obtained for various cases of practical interest.
