Maintaining a normal body temperature is crucial for optimal health and is one important aspect of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to balance varying internal conditions within narrow limits despite a constantly changing outside environment (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016). When a person is subjected to stimuli‚ which is a change in the variable‚ such as cold weather‚ temperature sensitive receptors in a person’s skin called thermoreceptors‚ detect this change. The receptors then respond providing

diseases is urinary incontinence. Urinary Incontinence can be defined as a medical condition in which the patient loses the control of the bladder. Generally‚ it is more common in women more than men. Fifty to eighty percent of the elderly are affected by urinary incontinence. Depending on the condition the leakage varies from a small dribble to a large quantity of urine. There are about three to six million people with urinary incontinence in the UK alone. Two hundred people worldwide have urinary incontinence

Researchers have debated what the most effective method is for preventing catheter acquired urinary tract infections (CAUTI). Many researchers compared cleaning the meatal surface around the catheter using soap and water with cleaning the meatal surface with antiseptic solutions. The research studies discuss when an indwelling urinary catheter is in place which of these two methods is most successful for preventing CAUTI and which of the two is not recommended. The end goal of this study is to determine

The term "lower urinary tract symptoms‚" or LUTS‚ is nonspecific. It has been used as a general term to refer to any combination of urinary symptoms or as a more specific term to refer to those symptoms primarily associated with overactive bladder (frequency‚ urgency‚ and nocturia). An international consensus conference identified LUTS to include symptoms relating to storage and/or voiding disturbances common among aging men [1]. The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in men increases with

The Basic Mechanisms of Homeostasis Overview of homeostasis The term homeostasis was first coined by Walter Cannon in 1929 to literally mean ‘steady state’. It describes the dynamic equilibrium by which internal constancy is maintained within set limits by regulation and control. There are many examples of homeostatic control throughout the human body and in other living organisms‚ such as pH‚ pressure‚ and temperature. A concept important to homeostasis is the process of feedback circuits;

blood remains stable? These things and many more are maintained as part of a process called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment‚ and depending on what particular aspect of the body’s physiology you are talking about there are corresponding systems to maintain this normal‚ stable range. The body maintains homeostasis through a self regulating control system‚ or "homeostatic mechanism" (Shier) if you will. All of these homeostatic
