This paper contains my view on Homeostasis balance. In particular‚ I am reviewing the stage where the fetus is starting to respond to the outside world through a facial expressions or controlled movements‚ denoting pleasure or disgust.

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a constant balance between the internal environment and external environment at a constant rate‚ despite changes which may affect our external environment such as body temperature and the amount of water in our bodies. By keeping this internal balance it allows our bodies to function efficiently. The negative feedback loop is produced when changes to our internal environment changes from its normal range. In this instance the brain and the nervous system

Science Assesment – Homeostasis Homeostasis is the state of body in the system which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively construct. Homeostasis works by monitoring levels of variables and making connections by negative feedback mechanisms. Negative feedback is a reaction in which the system responds in such a way as to reverse the direction of change. The three components of a homeostatic control system is a receptor‚ this detects changes. The integrator

Homeostasis is the process of keeping the cells in the human body stable despite constant change that takes place internally and externally. The majority of the internal bodily environment is made up of fluid that surrounds cells known as interstitial fluid. When an internal bodily change occurs‚ homeostasis is what keeps the interstitial fluid at the proper temperature and also makes sure the body has the proper nutrients and oxygen levels. Homeostasis is like a bouncer at a bar. It sees a change

The role of the skin in maintenance of homeostasis The skin is the single largest organ that covers the entire surface of our body and consists of two layers mainly the epidermis and the dermis. Also beneath the dermis is the subcutaneous layer which is not part of the skin but separates the integument from muscles and bones‚ which will be included in the essay as tissue fibres are connected with those of the dermis. The main functions of the skin are protection of the tissues and organs that lie
