Keeping conditions inside the body the same is called homeostasis. It’s not easy. Lots of things have to happen‚ e.g. energy transferred between body and environment‚ carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration and has to be transported by the bloodstream to the lungs where it is breathed out‚ waste and waste products are filtered out of the blood and excreted in the urine. An incubator has a temperature sensor‚ a thermostat with a switch and a heater. Negative feedback happens when one factor

Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behaviour. Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought‚ experience‚ and the senses. Physiology refers to the way the organisms work in response. These interactions between a cognitive process and physiology create human behavior. one example of this interaction is the way mirror neurons work and how the body acts in response to these neurons. A mirror neuron is a neuron

Kidneys Kidneys are small‚ dark red organs with a kidney-bean shape lie against the dorsal body wall in a retroperineal position (beneath the parietal peritoneum) in the superior lumbar region. The kidneys extend from T12 to the L3 vertebra; thus they receive some protection from the lower part of the rib cage. Because
