Hyperthermia and Homeostasis Definition of homeostasis is the attempt to keep equilibrium of the internal organisms despite the external environment. Homeostasis is everywhere in your body‚ think of the heart for a second. If you have a high blood pressure your cells send signals to your brain to slow the heart rate down to keep equilibrium‚ or if you have low blood pressure your heart will beat faster. Hyperthermia relates to homeostasis through numerous different systems in the body. In

INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ’s movement are the "monsoon seasons" that affect areas in the tropics‚ as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east

Question 1: A 50 mm diameter‚ thin wall metal pipe covered by 25 mm thick layer of insulation (ki = 0.085 W/m.K) and carrying a superheated steam at atmospheric pressure is suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam temperature entering the pipe is 120 oC‚ and the air temperature is 20 oC. The overall heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m2.K. if the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s‚ at what point along the pipe will the steam begin condensing and

In this investigation I will be burning alcohol ’s to heat up a can of water. I will be burning four alcohol ’s‚ methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol and butanol. The aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning these alcohols. Alcohol ’s react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is exothermic because heat is given out. From this reason the reactant energy is higher than that of the product. The energy is given out when

effective response to reduce internal body temperature. The sweat evaporates off the surface of the skin which removes heat and therefore cools the body down to re-establish homeostasis. There are four ways for the cyclist to lose heat during the event: convection‚ conduction‚ radiation‚ and evaporation.

temperature of the water‚ 80° Celsius. The dependent variable in my investigation will be the amount of heat loss. Scientific Theory The different types of energy transfers that will be taking place during this experiment will be conduction‚ convection‚ insulation‚ and radiation. Heat is transferred from one material to another through conduction. That happens when the water comes into contact with the cup itself. Materials that are good at conducting heat absorb the heat of the liquid

Homeostasis is the tendency of an organism or a cell to regulate its internal conditions‚ usually by a system of feedback controls‚ so as to stabilize health and functioning‚ regardless of the outside changing conditions. Humans use homeostasis to regulate control systems such as body temperature‚ osmotic balance‚ blood pressure‚ blood glucose and respiratory gases in tissues. This report will focus on thermoregulation‚ which is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain

vapour lamp: It consists of a discharge envelope enclosed in an outer bulb of ordinary glass. The discharge envelope may be of hard glass or quartz. The space between the bulb is partially or completely evacuated to prevent heat loss by convection from the inner bulb. The outer bulb absorbs harmful ultra rays. The inner bulb contains argon and a certain quantity of mercury. In addition to two main electrodes a starting (auxiliary) electrode connected through a high resistance. The main electrodes
