Temperature Homeostasis (thermoregulation) - …
Homeostasis literally means same state and it refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state, when the external environment is changed. The importance of this cannot be over-stressed, as it allows enzymes etc to be fine-tuned to a particular set of conditions, and so to operate more efficiently. Much of the hormone system and autonomic nervous systems is dedicated to Homeostasis , and their action is coordinated by the hypothalamus. In Module 2 we saw how the breathing and heart rates were maintained ( Synoptic questions probable!). Here we shall look at three more examples of Homeostasis in detail: Temperature , blood glucose and blood water.
Blood Glucose Homeostasis Glucose is the transport carbohydrate in animals, and its concentration in the blood affects every cell in the body. Its concentration is therefore strictly controlled within the range 0.8 – 1g per dm3
