Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a constant balance between the internal environment and external environment at a constant rate‚ despite changes which may affect our external environment such as body temperature and the amount of water in our bodies. By keeping this internal balance it allows our bodies to function efficiently. The negative feedback loop is produced when changes to our internal environment changes from its normal range. In this instance the brain and the nervous system

Conversely‚ the body also has numerous pathways for relieving pain (Ossipov 2012). As the medical field advances‚ there is a strong push to find the safest and most effective ways to relieve pain. The most understood pain-relieving system in the body is the endogenous opioid system. The endogenous opioid system produces three opioids‚ which act as neurotransmitters

Homeostasis Lab Analysis Assigned Challenge: Doorframe Look at the data for your assigned challenge. Why did the “guinea pig’s” body react the way it did during the challenge? What was happening inside of the body that you couldn’t necessarily measure or see? The “guinea pig’s” body had the reaction of soreness and weakness as time increased because the body was using more and more energy as time passed with little rest. The form of pushing that every guinea pig was excelling on the doorframe
