Homeostatic Imbalances Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement of the force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body. Blood pressure readings are usually given as two numbers -- for example‚ 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). One or both of these numbers can be too high. The top number is called the systolic blood pressure‚ which is the force of blood in the arteries as the heart beats‚ and the bottom

Physiology of fitness Acute exercise lasts for the length of a training session. During this time our bodies respond to the exercise and physical stress of the physical activity in lots of different ways. These are called acute responses. Acute responses immediate responses to exercise‚ such as an increase in body temperature and heart rate. Musculoskeletal response The musculoskeletal system allows and enables the body to move through a system of muscles‚ bones‚ tendons‚ cartilage and

Scientific concept: Homeostatic mechanisms use negative feedback to regulate a normal condition. Whether a positive or negative change from the normal condition occurs‚ the body counteracts it to restore the norm. [ Refer to figure 1 in annex below ] Osmoregulation is the process where the body regulates a constant blood water potential by controlling its water and solute concentrations. [ Refer to figure 2.1 and 2.2 in annex below ] Daily life application: Homeostasis is crucial to an organism

External Environment An organisation’s domain is its chosen environmental field of action. It is the territory that the organisation stakes out for itself with regard to products‚ services and markets served. This is also strongly affected by the organisation’s external environment.

Physiology P5‚ M2 & D2: Explain the concept of homeostasis and discuss the probable homeostatic responses to changes in the internal environment during exercise In this assignment the concept of homeostasis will be explained and the probable homeostatic responses to changes in the internal environment during exercise will be discussed. Homeostasis is simply how the body keeps conditions inside the same. It is described as the maintenance of a constant internal environment. Generally‚ the

Fitness Assignment 1: The Body’s Response to Acute Exercise Introduction: As a health and fitness instructor I need to be able to apply my anatomical and physiological knowledge to practical activities and exercises. I have conducted practical assessments to explore how the body responds to physical activity and exercise. I have then written a report‚ including all the anatomical and physiological changes that occur within each of the bodily systems. Acute exercises are a lower intensity for a shorter
