Health and Social Care Level 3 Task 4 P5- Explain the concept of Homeostasis. Homeostasis describes how your body regulates its process to keep its internal conditions as stable as possible. Human cells are efficient but very demanding so the homeostasis is needed. Temperature and blood PH change slightly while others such as blood glucose very considerably throughout a normal day without producing any harmful effects. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the response

whole (Dictionary‚ 2012). In Systems theory we will describe dynamics in a family as dyads‚ triads‚ and in homeostasis. In a system when one part of that system changes‚ the whole system changes. Within a family system viewed as a whole there are similar smaller systems known as subsystems. Marital (couples)‚ siblings; which are viewed as dyads‚ parents and child; viewed as triads‚ and homeostasis baseline behavior of a family. “A family is greater than the sum of its parts” (Phoenix‚ 2009).

needs to maintain proper homeostasis to survive. There are several different organ systems in the human body. Two of those systems are the digestive system and the urinary system. Both systems remove waste from the body but in an entirely different way. They also maintain homeostasis within our blood stream. Both systems are critical for survival. This paper will describe how each of those systems works on its own and also how they work together to maintain homeostasis for the body. How the

What is the concept of Homeostasis? Homeostasis is the process of which the body attempts to maintain a state of stable physiological balance. The body has to have homeostasis to stay alive‚ if you take a psychoactive drug‚ for example a drug that may affect your mood swings and distorted perceptions. Your body then attempts to bring itself back into physiologic balance and this may create a rebound effect. The normal temperature for a human being is 36-37.5 degree C If your body gets too cold

1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. Explain the principle of complementarity and how it applies to this course. The term anatomy refers to the structure of the body and its parts. Along with the study of the body structure‚ anatomy also refers to how these body parts work together and their working relationship as a whole. Physiology is the study of how the living systems in the body function and work. When studying the Physiology of the body it is most understandable if terms from the underlying

Characteristics of Living Things Overall in science there are 8 characteristics that can be used to determine whether something is living or non-living. Living things are made of cells‚ have levels of organization‚ grow & develop‚ maintain homeostasis‚ process by metabolism‚ respond to stimuli‚ reproduce & evolve over time. Yes those are the eight characteristics of a living thing. The first characteristic is that all living things are made of one or more cells. For instance living things

While describing the differences between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid in the first observation is completely obvious. When reading the words intracellular and extracellular it can be seen that one is the interior of the cell and the other is the exterior of the cell. Intracellular fluid is restricted to the interior of the cell‚ and the cell membrane is the borderline of cytosol or cytoplasmic matrix. The compartments of the intracellular fluid are very important to know‚ as it contains

ATP. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate. The pyruvate then travels through the Kreb cycle and produces carbon dioxide. The oxygen travel through the electron transport train and produces water and energy. In order for the body to maintain homeostasis while exercising more oxygen is needed and cellular respiration increases. In return for a greater intake of oxygen‚ more carbon dioxide is produced and exhaled‚ therefore changing the color of the the bromothymol quicker. The results support the
