Question

PROJECT: HOMEOSTASIS

Living organisms, including you, must maintain a "steady state" or homeostasis. If homeostasis is not maintained, negative symptoms begin to occur and death may even result!

Objectives

Research how homeostasis is maintained in a body system.

Project Directions

Choose one of these human conditions:

Temperature regulation
Blood pressure
Blood sugar
Oxygen/carbon dioxide levels

Research the topic, focusing on how homeostasis is maintained for the condition. Write an essay summarizing your research. Be sure to include the following:

What factors can shift this condition requiring feedback and homeostatic processes?
Identify the organ systems that are involved in the homeostatic processes.
What kind of feedback, positive or negative, is used to maintain the homeostasis?
For the feedback loop, identify the stimulus, receptor, integrating center, effector, and response.
Identify any other strategies, such as drug therapies, exercise etc., can be used to help maintain balance in this condition.
The sources used in your research.

Answer 1

Maintaining Homeostasis. The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. ... Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas.
The normal blood glucose level (tested while fasting) for non-diabetics, should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (70 to 100 mg/dL). ...
 Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).
There are lots of different hormones in the human body that serve lots of different functions, but some are used to maintain homeostasis of various physiological parameters, like blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels are regulated by two opposing hormones: insulin and glucagon.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components: a receptor, integrating center, and effector. The receptor senses environmental stimuli, sending the information to the integrating center. The integrating center, generally a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, signals an effector (e.g. muscles or an organ ) to respond to the stimuli. Positive feedback enhances or accelerates output created by an activated stimulus. Platelet aggregation and accumulation in response to injury is an example of positive feedback. Negative feedback brings a system back to its level of normal functioning. Adjustments of blood pressure, metabolism, and body temperature are all negative feedback.
