Homeostatic Imbalances Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement of the force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body. Blood pressure readings are usually given as two numbers -- for example‚ 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). One or both of these numbers can be too high. The top number is called the systolic blood pressure‚ which is the force of blood in the arteries as the heart beats‚ and the bottom

Scientific concept: Homeostatic mechanisms use negative feedback to regulate a normal condition. Whether a positive or negative change from the normal condition occurs‚ the body counteracts it to restore the norm. [ Refer to figure 1 in annex below ] Osmoregulation is the process where the body regulates a constant blood water potential by controlling its water and solute concentrations. [ Refer to figure 2.1 and 2.2 in annex below ] Daily life application: Homeostasis is crucial to an organism
