    internal environment is maintained by our body. For instance‚ this means that in our body‚ temperature‚ blood sugar levels‚ etc must be kept within a narrow range even when we are in a freezing climate‚ or while doing vigorous exercise etc. All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components which are: The receptor responds to changes in the environment‚ for example‚ detects temperature change. Then‚ after the receptor senses a stimuli‚ it sends information to a ‘’control

What types of proteins in the cell membrane were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells? Without ATP the sodium potassium ion channels can’t operate. The heart can’t contract properly. Increased Calcium sent the heart in to a prolonged contraction‚ it convulsed recklessly. F. Why was reestablishing oxygen

    DNA. The instructions his body needs to repair itself‚ would be in the mRNA‚ which directs the synthesis of specific proteins that will aid in repairing the body. 4. E. The type of proteins in the cell membrane that were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells were ATPases‚ and ATP. The lack of ATP affected the membrane pumps‚ and ATPases had stopped moving calcium from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum of his heart cells. 5. F. It was important to reestablish oxygen

    obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which can be very devastating.

    Joseph’s Story Jalisa Cason A&P 1 Unit 2 case study B. Cellular processes and membrane functions that will be affected if Joseph’s heart stopped would be as follows. Oxygen‚ glucose‚ and essential ions that are required for the heart to pump will slow down. Each of his cells will have to work harder and faster which uses up his energy supply. Carbon dioxide levels inside the cells will rise‚ which causes his PH to drop. The mitochondria will run out of oxygen and glucose to make essential ATP
