Which of the following systems uses hormones to control cell function and helps control homeostasis?

Endocrine

Why is homeostatic regulation important to humans?

Homeostasis is necessary to maintain a normal lifestyle. Since it is dynamic, it adjusts conditions in the body to be maintained within the narrow parameters. Our body responds in order to restore balance of the internal environment.

Research the physiological consequences of having high blood pressure (hypertension) and low blood pressure (hypotension). Write a brief summary of your findings in the space that follows.

Hypertension can lead to severe health complications and increase risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and aneurysm. Severe hypotension can deprive the brain and other vital organs of oxygen and nutrients and can indicate serious heart, endocrine and neurological disorders.

What would indicate the failure of the body to maintain homeostasis?

Illness and fatality can occur if you cannot support or if your lifestyle interferes with the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. A disorder of a structure or the structure's function can impair your body's ability to maintain controlled conditions. A disease can affect the body locally or systematically. Diseases can alter the body's structures and functions.

This serous membrane covers the surface of the lungs.

visceral pleura

In a healthy patient, blood pressure is 120/80mmHG. Baroreceptors in large blood vessels detect changes in blood pressure by measuring the amount of stretch occuring in the blood vessel. The greater the stretch, the more nerve impulses (action potentials) are sent to the brain. Less stretch results in fewer nerve impulses to the brain. The brain interprets the nerve impulses sent by the baroreceptors and responds by sending nerve impulses to the heart and blood vessels. The heart rate will speed up or slow down. Blood vessels will either constrict or dilate.

~ 120/80 mmHG
