In this experiment‚ the negative feedback loop was the blubber preventing the changing temperature of the thermometer. Therefore‚ blubber is a method of homeostasis‚ because it prevents the ideal temperature of the thermometer from dropping. Our data shows this as well

When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the
