Homeostasis: The process of the body maintaining a constant internal environment‚ despite any external changes. Homeostasis ensures that the following are kept the same: Body temperature Amount of water in our body Blood glucose levels Breathing rate Heart rate How are things kept the same? 1. Receptors: They detect a change in the things such as temperature 2. Processing: Centre receives information and coordinates a response 3. Effects: Produce a response that ensures our body temperature stays

Homeostasis is the process within mammals where the body systems work together to maintain a stable response to a fluctuating environment within the body due to changes in the external environment and input into the body. The homeostasis process is used during blood sugar regulation within the body. This is the process whereby the body uses hormones to keeps the glucose levels in the blood at a stable level to ensure the body’s optimum function. Blood sugar levels are determined by the amount of

Question Does age affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis? Does height affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis? Hypothesis My hypothesis is that as people age‚ they begin having a more difficult time maintaining homeostasis because their body can no longer respond as quickly to an outside stimulus to restore homeostasis. However‚ due to the small age range of the sample set‚ there may be only a small discernable differences in heartbeats per minute between age groups. My hypothesis

When urine is released from the urethra‚ any microbes that may have previously entered or were introduced into the sterile environment of the urinary tract are washed away and released from the body. However‚ sometimes bacteria is able to enter the urethra‚ colonize‚ and infect before the cleaning mechanism can take place. If the infection reaches the bladder‚ the consequences
