Introduction: The regulation of body temperature is called thermo-regulation. It is the ability of any organism to maintain the temperature of its body at normal level even when the temperature of the external environment is fluctuating. The normal temperature of the body of humans is approximately 37◦C or between the 98◦F-100◦F and it is called its core body temperature. This core temperature usually remains the same within a very short range of variations. This core temperature only

stay constant. An example of homeostasis is Thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its blood temperature within a certain boundary‚ even though the surrounding temperature is very different. The purpose of the Thermoregulatory homeostatic control system is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of

gives us sensation‚ due to the nerves in the skin. If the skin is harmed from heat‚ the nerves attached to the skin will send neurotransmitters to the central nervous system which will cause a response by moving the skin away from danger. In thermoregulation ‚ the skin contains sweat glands that help to produced sweat. The sweat helps the body to cool down by evaporating as gas‚ thereby decrease the temperature of the body. There are also lysozymes in the sweat that is involved in phagocytosis that

body’s’ compartments at the proper levels. The proper balance of water and electrolytes is essential for optimal physiologic functioning. Among the many roles water plays it also acts as a building material‚ a carrier for waste and nutrients in thermoregulation among other functions. Water is the one primary nutrient that is extremely essential for body hydration‚ it is a fact that the human body can only survive about 3 days without water – the body can last a lot longer without food than the essential

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

have a negative feedback; the response needs to counteract the stimulus. The Endocrine and Nervous System play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through negative feedback as they coordinate the responses in your body and help with thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the way that the body keeps its internal temperature at a safe level. When the body is exposed to low temperature‚ thermoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect blood temperature and thermoreceptors in the skin detect skin temperature

However I will be looking at the functions of the cardiovascular system in more depth. These include looking at; the delivery of oxygen and nutrients‚ the removal of waste products‚ thermoregulation‚ vasodilation‚ vasoconstriction. And the function of blood‚ which includes looking at oxygen transport‚ clotting and fighting infection. Delivery of oxygen and nutrients- One key function of the cardiovascular system is to supply oxygen and nutrients
