Negative feedback Essay Homeostasis of Animals and Plants Many animals‚ including humans‚ can regulate their body temperature through a process called negative feedback. The temperature within the body is regulated to be maintained within a certain range. Animals capable of this type of homeostasis are deemed homeotherms (1). Temperature is adjusted by receptors that detect temperature fluctuations called thermoreceptors‚ which are found in the hypothalamus-a portion of the brain. These receptors

Homeostasis is the maintenance of the relatively constant physiological state of the internal environment‚ the biological term meaning ‘same state’‚ is the control of the body’s internal conditions despite fluctuations in the external environment. Blood glucose refers to the sugar that is transported through the bloodstream to supply energy to all the cells in our bodies. Cells in the body need glucose for respiration through mitochondria‚ which produces ATP- the energy source for all processes of

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
