There are a couple of different ways the skin contributes to homeostasis of body temperature. First, in response to excess body heat, the skin will release some of that body heat through sweat onto the surface of the skin. The sweat will evaporate taking the heat with it. Secondly, when we are cold goose pimples are actually caused by tiny muscles in the skin called arrector pilli muscles that make your body hair stand on end. This has the effect of trapping warm air near the surface of the skin keeping us warm.

How does homeostasis impact the human body?
Maintain a normal value of certain body temperature.
A bean shaped organ that maintains homeostasis in the body?
The Kidney..?
Define and give an example of homeostasis?
Homeostasis is a natural body behavior of maintaining a constant internal environment. An example of this adaptation is sweating to cool the body once one steps into an environment that has high temperature.
The process by which a stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus?
This sounds like homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which an organism maintains a stable internal environment. One example is temperature. When your body temperature rises (stimulus), you skin gets flushed and you start to sweat (response) to cool your body.
How homeostasis of body temperature is achieved in your body?
how homoeostasis of body temperature is achieved in our body
Is sweating an homeostasis?
No, sweating is a mechanism by which a body maintains internal temperature homeostasis.
'your body normally maintains a body temperature of thirty seven degrees c' this is an example of what?
homeostasis
How does homeostasis impact the human body?
Maintain a normal value of certain body temperature.
How does a cell maintain homeostasis both within itself and as a part of a multicellular organism?
The cell maintains homeostasis by regulating its body temperature and staying hydrated.
When are hormone release in body?
All the time. Your body maintains something called homeostasis and uses hormones to do so (body temperature, etc.)
What does homeostasis do in the body?
It maintains control of the body's functions.
How does homeostasis relate to hyperthermia?
by trying to maintain the normal body temperature
What is the function of homeostasis?
Homeostatis is a function that maintains natural balances within the body. For example, temperature and water levels are kept controlled in the body.
What is known as the human thermostat?
The hypothalamus It maintains homeostasis by regulating hunger, sleep, thirst, body temperature, and water balance.
What does homeostasis means?
Homeostasis is to conserve the normal function inside and organ or a body, any illness, trauma, infection or disruption of the normal functioning of the body is considered breaking of the homeostasis.
Does homeostasis affect body temperature?
The stabilization of body temperature is homeostasis. What affects homeostasis is the interaction of the hypothalamus and hormones, such as prostaglandin; an indirect marker for inflammation. Homeostasis is constant/stable. The hypothalamus ensures body temperature homeostasis.
A bean shaped organ that maintains homeostasis in the body?
The Kidney..?
