The nurse assessment will begin with the lungs‚ since oxygen is mandatory for homeostasis. The nurse must ensure that there is air movement in the lungs to support life. To do so‚ using a stethoscope‚ the nurse auscultates breath sounds‚ listening for abnormalities during inspiration and expiration in all

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of exercise on the body. Exercise causes many homeostatic factors to kick in‚ in an effort to maintain internal homeostasis. How exercise affects some of these homeostatic factors can be determined by measuring‚ observing and monitoring certain parameters. For the purpose of this study‚ the factors in which I had to look at included temperature‚ pulse rate and breathing (respiration) rate. In doing the experiment‚ I will be able to see firsthand

A) Homeostasis: A balanced state in an organism’s body. B) Failure to maintain homeostasis results in disease or death. C) Homeostasis is often maintained using feedback mechanisms. 1. Feedback mechanisms are cycles in which the product of one reaction causes another to start or stop. D) While organisms

The Urinary system works with the other systems of the body to help maintain homeostasis. The kidneys are the main organs of homeostasis because they maintain the acid base balance and the water salt balance of the blood. One of the major functions of the Urinary system is the process of excretion. Excretion is the process of eliminating‚ from

Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body‚ the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water‚ ions‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ calcium and red blood cells.

Calcitonin is also regulated by the thyroid gland and is involved with calcium homeostasis between the bone and the circulation. The parathyroid glands are two sets of organs associated with the thyroid gland. The chief cells produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) whose main function is to regulate calcium levels in the body. PTH can stimulate
