Homeostasis is important in maintaining a healthy functioning of the body. Enzymes within the body are vitally responsible for speeding up chemical reactions and are often referred to as catalysts. In order to work at their optimum‚ enzymes need a specific constant temperature within the internal environment of the body to function correctly and reduce denaturing. A healthy human body should have a body temperature of 37∙C‚ the optimum temperature for enzymes to function. Therefore‚ the temperature

In this lab‚ homeostasis will be studied upon the two eggs in corn syrup and distilled water‚ and in each sucrose solution with different amounts of molarity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of balance between an organism or cell and its environment. Without homeostasis‚ many important aspects of the body such as body temperature‚ blood sugar‚ heart rate‚ blood rate‚ and pH of blood would not be kept at the proper balance. This could eventually result in death due to improper amounts of certain substances

with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system secretes hormones in the human body‚ which are produced in endocrine glands and are released into the bloodstream to travel to the its specific target cell‚ tissue‚ or organ. Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are discharged into the surroundings. Hormones can either produce short-lived responses or long-term responses. An example of a short-lived response is when adrenaline (epinephrine)causes the flight-or-fight response. An

Period 1 Physiology September 16th 2014 Lab 1: Homeostasis Background Information The conditions in our bodies do not really change at all. Our body temperature has to stay within a certain range in order to function. We maintain these function through a process which is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment such as body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ and heart rate. An analogy to help explain homeostasis is a student walking up the down escalator

Homeostasis report 3.4 The Purpose of the Homeostatic System Homeostasis is a process that ensures the balance or equilibrium in different internal areas of the body. It’s vital that the human body maintains this balance state as significant fluctuations could cause a severe effect on the body. All homeostasis systems are negative feedbacks‚ “a regulatory mechanism in which a ‘stimulus’ causes an opposite ‘output’ in order to maintain an ideal level of whatever is being regulated”‚ meaning if the

HYPERTENSION‚also known as high blood pressure‚ is the most common chronic cardiovascular disease in which the blood vessels (arteries) have persistently raised pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood exerting against the walls of arteries as it is pumped by the heart through out the body. Therefore‚ hypertension occurs when the blood is pushes harder against the arterial wall. It is called the “SILENT KILLER" because it shows no signs and symptoms that is why it is important to check
