What is required in the maintenance of life?
- Water: for chemical reactions/metabolic funcitions, and for allowing things to move within the body
- Food: provide nutrients, energy, and building materials
- Oxygen: Metabolism + Energy Release
- Heat: Rate of motion
- Pressure: Atmospheric
What is homeostasis, and the parts that help keep you at a homeostatic state?
Stable internal environment. Our body is constantly changing and the parts that help regulate homeostasis are:
- receptors: detectors of stimuli, if its hot we will sweat
- set points: The point @ which the stimulus causes change
