What is and example of homeostasis?
Regulating blood glucose concentration
The ability of the human body to regulate the level of blood glucose is an example of?
Homeostasis!
Explain how the body implement homeostasis to control the blood glucose levels to within normal limits before or after eating a pizza.?
someone please answer this
What is a example of a homeostasis?
The body's mechanism for maintaing a steady sugar level in the blood is an example of homeostasis.
Normally when the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below a certain level stored glucose reenters the blood until the original concentration of blood glucose is part of the process known as?
homeostasis
Homeostasis is illustrated in the human body by the effects of insulin on the amount of?
glucose in the blood
Give an example of how homeostasis is maintained?
An example of homeostasis is regulating blood glucose concentration. The body does this as follows: If there is enough glucose in the blood, the hormone insulin (from the pancreas) stimulates the liver to store the extra (not needed at the time) glucose as glycogen. If the blood sugar gets low, another hormone stimulates the liver to release the glucose back into the blood. If the storage in the liver is full, glucose is converted into fat in special cells around the body.
What term refers to the relatively constant level of blood glucose?
homeostasis/negative feedback system
In homeostasis what is blood glucose range between?
Normally, in mammals the blood glucose level is maintained at between 3.6 and 5.8 millimoles per litre. In humans, normal blood glucose is about 90 mg per 100ml of blood--that's about 5 millimoles.
What are mechanisms of homeostasis'?
The processes and activities that help to maintain homeostasis are referred to as homeostatic mechanisms. for example regulation of blood pressure, regulation of pH in the body fluids and regulation of blood glucose levels.
Homeostasis is necessary at the level of a single cell?
Yes. Homeostasis keeps every thing in balance: you blood glucose level, your blood pressure, your body body temperature and more.
What are blood glucose monitors most useful for?
Blood glucose monitoring is for people with diabetes so they can control their blood glucose in their own home. The advantages of blood glucose monitoring are early detection of hypoglycemia, better blood sugar control, and fewer complications.
