Homeostasis What is homeostasis? Homeostasis is the mechanism in our body that regulates and maintains a stable and constant environment. This enables our body to respond to changes in the environment around us as. The homeostatic mechanisms in our body‚ observe and monitor conditions and will then make a judgment whether to change the way the body functions is order to adapt to the outside surroundings better. The main organs involved in homeostasis are; the brain‚ liver‚ skin and kidney’s.

P5. Homeostasis is the process by which a constant internal environment is maintained by our body. For instance‚ this means that in our body‚ temperature‚ blood sugar levels‚ etc must be kept within a narrow range even when we are in a freezing climate‚ or while doing vigorous exercise etc. All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components which are: The receptor responds to changes in the environment‚ for example‚ detects temperature change. Then‚ after the receptor

The benefits of space exploration are vital to our rapidly advancing world. One can say that the benefits resulted from space exploration can better ensure the safety and wellness of individuals‚ and to the well-being and survival of mankind‚ as there are useful spin-off technologies‚ sophisticated satellite technologies‚ and advanced space travelling technologies that can save human lives. I agree for the continuation of space exploration due to these benefits‚ as they greatly exceed any of the

Physics Energy Exploration Project Energy can be stored in many forms as potential energy. It can be extracted through chemical and mechanical processes to get usable energy. We use that kinetic energy and electricity every day to power our lights‚ run our cars and do most of our tasks. Fossil Fuel is a non-renewable energy source. It results from the decomposition of dead and buried organisms. They are millions of years old and are fossilized under rock and sand. They are efficient energy producers

The Importance of Ocean Exploration. As soon as humanity existed‚ people were tempted to explore and discover everything around them. This invincible desire has led humanity on its way of discovering Earth. And it seems that our planet is totally explored‚ everything is revealed and there is no place where any man has not gone before (or any robot hasn’t recorded). The next step is outside Earth. After the first space flight humankind concentrated its attention on exploring the galaxy‚ searching
