Thermoregulation homeostatic control system Homeostasis is a mechanism which allows humans to maintain a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the outside environment. It involves a control system that regulates body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ osmotic balance and levels of blood glucose. Thermoregulation is the body’s ability to maintain a specific temperature (36.7 degrees) despite a rise or drop in temperature in the outside environment. If the human body temperature drops below

pathogens.” (CITE) Internal body temperature is a negative feedback mechanism‚ implying that the body responding will represent any adjustment in the internal body temperature outside the ordinary homeostatic range‚ whether the temperature will increase or decrease. In spite of the fact that there is a set homeostatic range for temperature‚ under ordinary conditions the human body is continually fluctuating inside the set range. This implies it is never at a steady perpetual body temperature. Many components

Excretory System Review Main Concepts: Describe the major gross anatomical structures of the excretory system. Kidneys: receive about 25% of the cardiac output; produce urine (a fluid containing water‚ ions‚ and small soluble compounds) Ureters: receive urine from the kidneys and conduct it to the urinary bladder. Urine movement involves a combo of gravity and the peristaltic contractions of smooth muscle in the walls of the ureters Urinary Bladder: receives and stores urine prior to elimination

ABGs‚ measure the amounts of oxygen‚ carbon dioxide and acid/base level in the blood‚ according to Medline Plus‚ a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. ABGs are ordered if the patient has difficulty breathing‚ symptoms of an acid/base imbalance‚ or if a pre-existing condition is worsening‚ and blood is taken from an artery in the wrist‚ groin‚ or inside of the elbow. Respiratory Acidosis The kidneys and lungs work together to keep a balanced acid/base‚ or pH‚ level. Respiratory acidosis

Within our constantly evolving and ever-changing western world‚ what is seemed as being deviant has shifted and adopted to suit the norms and values of the society. The Issue of obesity has become increasingly prominent within the western society. Obesity is a term used to describe body weight that is much greater than the health range. Adults with a body mass index greater than 25kg/m2 but less than 30kg/m2 are considered overweight (Insel‚ 2009). The western culture has infiltrated daily lives

that once a plant reaches a certain acidity within its own body the growth will start to decline. This decline in growth could be due to the fact that a more acidic environment causes the plant to react to try and bring the plant to its desired homeostatic pH. The extra energy expended during trying to reach a certain desired plant pH caused a decline in growth because of how the energy was refocused on homeostasis. With a given opportunity to test this experiment again I would dissect a portion of
