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

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is transmitted usually through unprotected sex with someone who is already infected‚ but it can also be transmitted through infected blood. The immune system is greatly affected by the disease. Once it enters the body‚ the virus recognizes a protein on helper T-cells‚ called CD4 (Cluster of Differentiation Antigen No. 4)‚ and it attaches onto that receptor to take over the CD4 cell. The result is a virus

connection between different systems in the body and how they use water to maintain proper health and function. We will discuss what happens to the body when we intake too much water (water toxicity)‚ likewise when we lose or intake too little (dehydration). Why is water essential to health maintenance? Water is the “great regulator” in the body. It has several functions: to dissolve nutrients and move them throughout the body‚ to flush and carry waste particles from the body‚ and to

Homeostasis Imbalances: Diabetes Jessica Garcia Human Anatomy & Physiology I Professor Garcia March 24th‚ 2014 Homeostasis Imbalances: Diabetes Homeostasis is regulation of every system and organ in the body. How does diabetes affect homeostasis? In homeostasis‚ if the blood glucose level begins to decline‚ the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon‚ which then stimulates cells to release glucose into the blood stream. Now when the
