Diabetes mellitus produces many homeostatic imbalances‚ including acidosis. The pH imbalance is due to ketoacidosis‚ which results from excessive accumulation of byproducts of fat metabolism‚ as the body cannot meet energy needs from carbohydrate metabolism.

Drug Addiction Introduction There are many people and organizations in our culture that are trying very hard to make sure that Drug Addiction is NOT seen as a disease or as the result of genetic or biological predisposition. These people have a strong personal and social interest in an entirely nonphysiological model of addictive human behavior. Their perspective of social problems is based primarily on a philosophical orientation with a social perspective‚ heralding socio-political correctness

binge-and-purge cycles of bulimia can affect the entire digestive system and can lead to electrolyte and chemical imbalances in the body that affect the heart and other major organ functions. Some of the health consequences of bulimia nervosa include: • Electrolyte imbalances that can lead to irregular heartbeats and possibly heart failure and death. Electrolyte imbalance is caused by dehydration and loss of potassium‚ sodium and chloride from the body as a result of purging behaviours. • Potential for

feedback and positive feedback loops effect the homeostatic condition. Use examples to explain your answer. Homeostasis can be described as maintaining a relatively internal environment even though the external environment is variable. Negative feedback loops effect the homeostatic condition by controlling it by bringing you back to your set point. An example of this would be blood pressure or heart rate. Positive feedback loops effect the homeostatic condition by using amplification to increase

Homeostasis is defined as the adjustments a body makes to maintain an environment conducive to life. All of the organ systems in the human body must maintain a steady internal environment for the body to function properly. The factors that need to be controlled are water and salt content‚ PH balance‚ oxygen‚ sugar‚ protein‚ body temperature‚ and blood and glucose concentration. The basic principle of homeostasis is when there is an abnormal internal condition‚ it will be detected and a variation

Encephalitis; Nervous System Homeostatic Imbalance Megan Patterson SC 122 004 Husson University Professor Frankland Abstract For this paper I will be discussing a homeostatic imbalance of the nervous system called Encephalitis. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain mostly caused by viral infections and some bacterial. (Mayo Clinic Staff‚ 2012) It occurs in approximately 0.5 per 100‚000 individuals with it most commonly occurring in people with weakened immune systems‚ the elderly‚ and

We came to this conclusion‚ because of all the symptoms Cecil has listed are correlated with symptoms of dehydration. Symptoms of dehydration include dry skin from lack of fluid in the epidermal tissue. It can also lead to higher or mostly lower blood pressure. Lower blood pressure in dehydration results from decreased blood volume and reduced blood vessel pressure. It can lead to high blood pressure by the body using available sodium to raise blood

Hypertension can cause other medical issues as well‚ that is why it is extremely important to treat it right away. The Homeostatic imbalance or negative feedback system that causes hypertension is that when the heart beats too fast or too hard the blood pressure increases. For example‚ if you are out jogging or running you are causing you heart to work harder which makes your blood
