A study was carried out to investigate the effects of exercise on the body. Exercise causes many homeostatic factors to kick in‚ in an effort to maintain internal homeostasis. How exercise affects some of these homeostatic factors can be determined by measuring‚ observing and monitoring certain parameters. For the purpose of this study‚ the factors in which I had to look at included temperature‚ pulse rate and breathing (respiration) rate. In doing the experiment‚ I will be able to see firsthand

He would go down to the tidepools and collect all sorts of critters like squid‚ octopus‚ and sea cucumbers.

Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body‚ the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water‚ ions‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ calcium and red blood cells. Kidneys The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The left kidney is located slightly higher than the right kidney because

This is called homeostasis. These conditions include water content‚ ion content‚ body temperature and blood glucose concentration.

help reverse the narrowing of the airways. Asthma disrupts the body’s ability to function by causing a person’s airways to narrow‚ which leads to difficulty breathing. In essence‚ asthma disrupts homeostasis‚ an internal balance that allows to body to function properly. The disruption of homeostasis occurs in the respiratory system. A normal person’s air pathways are wider and not inflamed‚ which makes it easier for them to breathe and live life. For asthmatics the narrowing of their air
