The importance of homeostasis in the body

How are metabolism and homeostasis interconnected?

They both need the other to keep the body in balance.

List a few examples of aspects of the body that must remain balanced through homeostasis.

Water level ,body temperature,oxygen level ,glucose level

Define a negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop.

Negative-examine whether expected levels are within an acceptable range .if the loop finds that a level is outside of the acceptable range it works to correct the issue . Positive-are used to complete a process once they are triggered .for example when a female goes into labor ,specific hormones are triggered to help the child be born .

What structure is signaled when the body is too hot?Too cold?

Sweat glands,muscles causing you to shiver to keep you warm

Which body part regulates balance?

The Inner ear

. What organs manage pH levels?

The lungs,kidneys,brains,.

.Define anabolism.

The process of taking smaller parts and building them into larger molecules .This process requires energy.anabolism helps to produce growth in organs and tissues.

What is significance of homeostasis in the body ?

The significance of homeostasis is to keep the body in balance

Define catabolism

the process of breaking down complex molecules into smaller parts.this process results in the release of energy.the energy produced from catabolism can be used to fuel anabolism.

What may occur when that body part is not in homeostatic balance?

dizziness,nausea,and falls .

What must the body do to sustain the same internal temperature?

he hypothalamus sends signals

Define balance.

Is the way the body maintains stability when its weight is shifting.your body's balance is regulated by the inner ear.

How does the body determine whether the various chemicals that need to be maintained are at acceptable levels ?

By using the negative and positive feedback loops.

What does the process of metabolism require and how is that affected by homeostasis?

Homeostasis is needed for metabolism to function properly ,and proper metabolism is one function that helps the body maintain homeostasis .

What organ regulates body temperature?

Hypothalamus

.Define metabolism.

Is all chemical reactions and physical processes of the body .These chemical reactions take the nutrients and turn them into what the body needs .

How is pH measured?

Is measured in the concentration of hydrogen ions in bodily fluids. 7.35-7.45 normal ph

What happens when pH levels are out of balance?

When ph is out of balance it causes deaths and sickness.

Define homeostasis

When the body constantly adjusts chemical and other levels within the body to maintain a healthy state .
