M2: Discuss the probable homeostatic responses to changes in the internal environment during exercise. D2: Evaluate the importance of homeostasis in maintain the healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is the process which the body internally is kept relatively stable despite changes in the environment. Your body is able to adapt to several conditions. For instance‚ average human body temperature is 37°C‚ varying slightly from person to person. When the temperature outside drops to 30 degrees

BIOLOGY Biology is the study of life -- life in all of its grandeur. From the very small algae to the very large elephant‚ life has a certain wonder about it. With that in mind‚ how do we know if something is living? Is a virus alive or dead? What are the characteristics of life? These are all very important questions with equally important answers. Characteristics of Life Living tings include both the visible worlds of animals and plants as well as the invisible world of bacteria and viruses.On

Homeostasis is a system that regulates internal environment and tends to maintain a stable and constant condition‚ it is normally found within living organisms. It receives and sends information about the body’s condition to the hypothalamus which can then make changes if necessary. The hypothalamus is a part of a organisms brain that controls its body’s homeostasis system. There is a theory called duel control theory that assumes that the feeling of hunger and satiation are controlled by two

There are many different genes that play a role in the understanding of cancer‚ and one of the most important of these genes is p53. P53 is a tumor suppressor gene‚ a gene that has the ability to prevent cancer but not allowing the cell to divide (Weinberg 2014). P53 is considered the “guardian of the genome” due to its variety of functions that are crucial for regular cell life cycles‚ and can prevent cancer (Weinberg 2014). Some of the functions of p53 include regulation of apoptosis‚ inducing

The endocrine system is one of our body systems that plays an important role in living. It comprises of many glands exerting hormones in maintaining the body’s internal environment also known as homeostasis. The endocrine system plays an important role in homeostasis because it maintains growth and development‚ maturation‚ reproduction‚ human behavior‚ metabolism‚ sexual function and controls functions of the tissues. It is partnered with the nervous system since the hypothalamus along with the pineal
