- By sensing and responding to change, organisms keep conditions in the internal environment within ranges that cells can tolerate. This process is called ____________.arrow_forwardGenerally speaking, in homeostasis, when there is an adverse or disrupting external stimulus all variables are maintained within a narrow range simultaneously all variables will be maintained in stable condition the variable related to the stimulus will be altered to counteract the stimulus, often at the expense of other variables the variable related to the stimulus will be altered without involving any other variablesarrow_forwardHow system decomposition and system interdependency are interacted with human body system draw a hierarchical chart similar with organization of structuresarrow_forward
- Homeostasis is a natural phenomenon which is body’s tendency to maintain internal stable and favorable environment against any situation that would tend to disturb its normal condition and function. Such as, If the temperature rises, the body loses heat by sweating or panting, via the latent heat of evaporation. If it falls, this is counteracted by increased metabolic action, by shivering and in fur or feather coated animals, by thickening the coat. Like temperature our body can sense the change in osmolarity and to maintain a stable condition body needs to persist on a certain osmolarity. Secretion of certain hormones can be stimulated by any change in the osmolarity to help maintain a certain level of osmolarity - briefly discuss the mechanism of action and biochemical function of such a hormone.arrow_forwardA stable internal environment is known as _______arrow_forwardNegative feedback systems keep regulated variables within a normal range by ______________ any upward or downward shift in that variable, i.e. it means an _______________ response to a stimulus.arrow_forward
