Homeostasis

Question 14

Existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body despite fluctuations in either the external or internal environment.

Answer 14

Homeostasis

Question 15

The values of _______ changes?

Answer 15

Variables

Question 16

Examples of variables…

Answer 16

Temperature, volume, chemical content

Question 17

Examples of homeostatic mechanisms

Answer 17

Sweating, and shivering

Question 18

Helps to maintain the body to be near its average normal value or setpoint?

Answer 18

Homeostatic mechanisms

Question 19

Why are homeostatic mechanisms are not able to maintain body temp precisely at the set point?

Answer 19

because the body temp only increases and decreases slightly around the setpoint, producing a normal range of values.

Question 20

Examples of the normal range

Answer 20

the pH of the blood - 7.35 to 7.45

Question 21

What helps maintain the internal environment of the body and why?

Answer 21

Organ systems - to remain relatively constant (internal environment)

Question 22

The physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates

Answer 22

Setpoint
