How homeostasis is important in a human body?

Answer 1

Our body's internal environmental factors like; water level, solutes and body temperature keeps on changing but that happens within a very narrow range and has no adverse effect. However, when there are fluctuations in the external environment, it may have deleterious effects on an individuals' normal bodily functions. And hence, the protection of internal environment from the harms or fluctuations of external environment is termed as homeostasis. It helps regulate our body's temperature, solute and water level etc.

Answer 2

Living cells depend on the transportation of chemicals around the body.

These chemicals (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and dissolved food) need to be transported around the body and in and out of cells.

This is done by the processes of osmosis and diffusion which depend on the body's water and salt balance - which is maintained by homeostasis.

Also, cells rely on enzymes to speed up many chemical reactions that keep the cell alive and working properly. These enzymes work best at particular temperatures, and so again homeostasis is vital to cells as it maintains a constant body temperature.

Too hot or too cold, and the cells are denatured.

Answer 3

homeostasis is important for cells to function efficiently and interact properly .

maintaining homeostasis brings about regulatory mechanisms of the vertebrate body which are essential for life

Answer 4

Homeostasis is important throughout Biology because as homeostasis is balanced/regulated it allows organs, bodily functions etc. to work optimally as the right amounts of hormones, composites, temperatures and many other factors are working properly.

Answer 5

Homeostasis is important for humans because it maintains a stable internal climate. If humans did not have homeostasis we would die.

Answer 6

All an organism wants is to maintain homeostasis so it will do anything to do that.
