Homeostasis A state of balance in the body Whoa Homeostasis “the tendency of a system‚ esp. the physiological system of higher animals‚ to maintain internal stability‚ owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus tending to disturb its normal condition or function” - Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) “The ability or tendency of an organism or a cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.” - American Heritage Stedman’s Medical

reproductive. Orientation is when the organism is placed in their beneficial environment consisting of two behaviors‚ taxis (movement directly towards or away something) and kinesis (random movement). Reproductive is detected using drosophila in this lab‚ it consists of finding courting and mating with another of the species Agnostic behavior is found in a situation where the animal feels threated by another‚ leading to the organism looking bigger or more threatening to the opponent. Within the Agnostic

is involved with the cannon being fired then the force of gravity would cause the cannon to start to slow down‚ wouldn’t go as far and the direction or trajectory of the cannon ball would be a curved line going down. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to give the student a better understanding about projectile motion and to understand Newtons theories and laws of motion. We will be firing the plastic ball from the projectile launcher three times from eight different angles from the ground &

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary

Introduction: During this laboratory exercise will identify by the graph given which is isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic. The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found

wonder why the body shivers when it gets cold? Homeostasis keeps body conditions steady and constant. So‚ this means that when the body shivers‚ that is homeostasis taking place trying to keep your body temperature at a constant degree. Homeostasis maintains normality in the body in many different ways. Some examples include osmoregulation‚ thermoregulation‚ chemical regulation‚ and behavioral homeostasis. While homeostasis controls these processes‚ homeostasis must also go through a separate process of
