chemical and physical environment is continuously adjusted to keep them stable and in equilibrium. The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis. Examples of where they work together are thermoregulation and osmoregulation. [1] The nervous system is the body’s prime communication and coordination network and is constantly alive with electricity

What Is Soil Pollution? [pic] What Is Soil Pollution? Soil pollution results from the build up of contaminants‚ toxic compounds‚ radioactive materials‚ salts‚ chemicals and cancer-causing agents. The most common soil pollutants are hydrocarbons‚ heavy metals (cadmium‚ lead‚ chromium‚ copper‚ zinc‚ mercury and arsenic)‚ herbicides‚ pesticides‚ oils‚ tars‚ PCBs and dioxins. Until the 1970s‚ there was little talk of soil pollution and its devastating effects. In the 1980s‚ the U.S. Superfund was

acts in many ways like a living organism. The human body‚ to maintain function‚ works to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is defined as the optimal balance (Hinson‚ 2014). The family also operates on the principle of homeostasis. When one of the parts of the body is out of balance the body fights either through the immune system or through body reactions to bring the part back to a balance or homeostasis with the other parts of the body. Families operate in much the same way. When a member of the family

to humans to fish‚ maintaining homeostasis through regulating temperature‚ nutrients‚ gas-exchange‚ and hydration is key to survival. Most of these processes are performed regardless of outside environment (such as breathing). However‚ the ways other processes perform are based entirely on what the system (body) of an organism is encountering outside the system. It is extremely important that an organism respond to changes in the environment to maintain homeostasis‚ or illness and death will occur

Mechanisms of homeostasis in human body Temperature Regulation: If your body too hot or cold‚ there are several ways in which your temperature can be controlled. They involve sweating‚ shivering‚ capillaries and hairs. As we learn in the class when your body becomes; Too

Concepts of Lifetime Fitness September 1‚ 1997 Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium in which the internal environment of the human body remains relatively constant. Two excellent examples of homeostasis are how the body maintains a constant temperature and blood pressure during strenuous physical activity or exercise. Although there are many other activities in the body that display homeostasis‚ I will only discuss these two. Temperature in the human body is usually kept at approximately
