stay constant. An example of homeostasis is Thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its blood temperature within a certain boundary‚ even though the surrounding temperature is very different. The purpose of the Thermoregulatory homeostatic control system is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of

body’s’ compartments at the proper levels. The proper balance of water and electrolytes is essential for optimal physiologic functioning. Among the many roles water plays it also acts as a building material‚ a carrier for waste and nutrients in thermoregulation among other functions. Water is the one primary nutrient that is extremely essential for body hydration‚ it is a fact that the human body can only survive about 3 days without water – the body can last a lot longer without food than the essential

have a negative feedback; the response needs to counteract the stimulus. The Endocrine and Nervous System play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through negative feedback as they coordinate the responses in your body and help with thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the way that the body keeps its internal temperature at a safe level. When the body is exposed to low temperature‚ thermoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect blood temperature and thermoreceptors in the skin detect skin temperature

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

part is usually located in the dermis. The duct allows sweat to move from the base towards the surface of the skin. The duct has a pore on the skin surface. There are three major functions of the sweat glands which are thermoregulation‚ excretion‚ and protection. In the thermoregulation‚ sweat cools the surface of the skin and reduces body temperature. During excretion the glands will provide a significant excretory route for both water and electrolyte. In protection‚ the glands help in preserving the

However I will be looking at the functions of the cardiovascular system in more depth. These include looking at; the delivery of oxygen and nutrients‚ the removal of waste products‚ thermoregulation‚ vasodilation‚ vasoconstriction. And the function of blood‚ which includes looking at oxygen transport‚ clotting and fighting infection. Delivery of oxygen and nutrients- One key function of the cardiovascular system is to supply oxygen and nutrients
