Introduction “Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal equilibrium when dealing with external changes” (2). “Homeostasis keeps the body’s environment under control and keeps the conditions right for cells to live and function. Without the right body conditions‚ certain processes (e.g. osmosis) and proteins (e.g. enzymes) will not function properly” (1). Thermoregulation is the process that allows the cyclists

For example one experiment would submerge the victims into ice water until they passed out and eventually died‚ thus giving us information on hypothermia and how to treat it. Mengele’s research was used by the Germans during the war to decrease the amount of soldiers lost in battle and increase their knowledge on illnesses and injuries. In conclusion‚ Josef Mengele was a cruel man who got away

temperature increases. Homeostatic processes allow these increases to remain at a manageable level and provide the body with a mechanism for returning internal conditions to normal when you’re finished jogging. In extreme conditions‚ such as hypothermia‚ the body’s negative feedback systems will quickly trigger muscular reactions (such as shivering) in an attempt to generate heat to warm-up the body and maintain homeostasis. In the reverse situation - where the body’s core temperature is rising
