Homeostasis is a mechanism that allows organisms to maintain stable internal conditions (Reece 2014). The capability to perform homeostasis is essential for the survival of all organisms. Homeostatic mechanisms include a range of responses that regulate internal imbalances‚ including body temperature. A vital component of homeostasis is known as thermoregulation‚ the process of maintaining temperatures within a normal range (Reece 2014). When ambient temperatures change‚ animals must control their

Magnitude and duration of the stress determine just how the body will react. It is important to understand metabolic changes that take

Hypertension‚ also referred to as high blood pressure‚ is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats‚ it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing up against the blood vessel walls. The higher the pressure the harder the heart has to pump. Hypertension can lead to damaged organs‚ as well as several illnesses‚ such as renal failure (kidney failure)‚ aneurysm‚ heart failure

Homeostasis and why it is an important process for survival The environment around us is continually changing and poses difficulties for the body to carry out its internal processes. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment within the body regardless of changes in either external or internal conditions. It allows a certain degree of independence from the environment. Regulating body temperature is one instance where homeostasis occurs (Thermoregulation). Some methods

Negative Feedback Negative feedback is the process by which the outputs tend to reduce the inputs‚ which causes the system to stabilize. It is found in many functions that organisms carry out on a daily basis‚ most notably homeostasis. Negative feedback can be seen during the menstrual cycle‚ during days 5-10 oestrogen levels slowly rise‚ this increase causes the release of the hormones FSH and LH to be inhibited. Also in low concentrations progesterone has a negative feedback effect on FSH
