Homeostasis is where the body tries to keep its internal conditions constant. Some of the ways it does this are: sweating which then evaporates and cools down the skin; vasoconstriction, where blood vessels connected to skin capillaries constrict to reduce the amount of blood going to the skin, this reduces the amount of heat lost by radiation from the skin. The body also dilates blood vessels that are connected to skin capillaries in order to increase the amount of heat lost through radiation from the skin. Shivering also maintains core body temperature; when you get too cold your body shivers (contracts and retracts muscles) this causes cellular respiration which releases heat.

What are ways that humans maintain homeostasis?
The human body maintains homeostasis because homeostasis is the maintenance of stable internal conditions in a changing environment. individual cells ,must maintain homeostasis in order to live.- information from *Amaz!nqq Shorty*

How the skin maintains homeostasis of normal body temperature?
The skin helps regulate body temperature through various mechanisms. Sweat glands release sweat to cool the body through evaporation, blood vessels in the skin dilate to release heat, and hair follicles can trap heat near the body or release it. This coordinated effort helps maintain the body's normal temperature despite external fluctuations.
Explain the meaning of homeostasis as applied to the living organism?
A most basic answer: living organisms must use energy to maintain homeostasis.Homeostasis is the "balance" of our body--we are kept within a very strict and small allowance of our internal environment. This includes our pH, temperature, fluid levels, etc. If any of these things change, the body must spend energy to get it back within that allowable range for us to live. That isn't to say the body doesn't spend energy if things are within range--it is constantly using energy to KEEP things in that range (not just fix the ones that wander out).How it uses the energy to maintain homeostasis is a very long and varied answer. There are hundreds of ways for hundreds of situations.
How is negative feedback related to homeostasis?
Normally, the body attempts to regulate its metabolism through homeostatis. It monitors levels of various things through structures called receptors that communicate with integration centers - if something that is homeostatically regulated is not within a normal range, the integrating center can effect change. The receptor then tells the integrating center when the value is returned to normal, and the center stops acting to fix it. Fever is the body's normal immune response to infection. Many infecting organism like bacteria or viruses (though viruses are not technically organisms) cannot survive such high temperatures, and the body uses this as a general mechanism to protect itself. The body will not raise its temperature beyond a functional level. The immune system takes over in this case; the active nature of the immune system in the face of infection is a much stronger response than any homeostatic response. Other homeostatically regulated things will continute to be regulated through a fever, but the body's primary concern to eliminate the infection.

Eliminates waste products from the body in ways that maintain homeostasis
In which of the ways does the perspiring help the body to maintain homeostasis?
Sweating is a mechanism by which the body helps maintain body temperature homeostasis.
What is excess water?
excess water is when the body is tying to maintain homeostasis and expes it in odd ways (vomitong,the runs ).
What are 3 ways that you can measure the homeostasis of the body?
Monitoring vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Analyzing blood tests to assess levels of glucose, electrolytes, and hormones. Assessing body weight and composition to track changes impacting homeostasis.
What three ways does the skin assist with homeostasis?
By sweating, becoming oily, and preventing water and blood from escaping the body, acting like a barrier.
What is the relationship between metabolisim and homeostasis?
Metabolism is the mechanism that allows a body to reach homeostasis. If you get hot, you begin to perspire; if you get cold you begin to shiver. Both are examples of metabolism revving up to release heat, but in different ways.
What is the body's regulation of its internal environment?
when you feel hot your body sweats to keep cool and regulate your body temperature when your bodies cooled you get goosebumps to regulate your body temperature this are to ways your body regulates

How does system help the maintain homeostasis?
There are two ways that the respiratory system maintain homeostasis. These are through gas exchange and regulation of blood pH.
How does drugs affect homeostasis?
so homeostasis is the balance of every thing in your body and when you smoke your inhaling all these toxins and they can damage you in many ways here are a few:tar, a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer)nicotine is addictive and increases cholesterol levels in your bodycarbon monoxide reduces oxygen in the bodycomponents of the gas and particulate phases cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
