components and structures of the human body (levels of organization), feedback inhibition, nutrition, and finally, how our body defends against a wide variety of infectious diseases. Introduction
condition relatively stable regardless of the environment's conditions. An example of homeostasis involves the regulation of the body’s temperature regardless of the environment’s temperature.
37°C, the hypothalamus releases chemicals that tell the cells to speed up their reactions in order to rise body temperature. Also, the hypothalamus signals muscles to contract, which releases heat. As the body’s temperature rises, the body returns to it’s original stable range in order to maintain homeostasis.
37ºC, the hypothalamus slows down cellular activities to reduce heat production. Another method to reduce the body’s temperature involves sweat, because when sweat evaporates it cools the body’s surface. As the body’s temperature lowers down, its cooling mechanisms stop in order to maintain homeostasis.
our body has a specific role in order to maintain the correct functioning of the human body, but for that correct functioning, we found that it’s very important to obtain the correct and necessary nutrients. The human body is a prefect machine and it’s very important to know how it’s organized and what we can do to be healthier. Conclusion
