Which describes the body's ability to maintain its normal state?
A mechanism called hemostasis helps the body maintain a steady state (but within a range and not exact). There are lot of examples: exercising causes the muscles to produce heat which causes you to sweat which causes your body temperature to drop back to close to the normal temperature.
What is homeostatic mechanism?
A homeostatic mechanism is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition. For example: the hypothalamus (which is a homeostatic mechanism) senses when your body's temperature is too high or too low. In a situation where the temperature of your body is above normal, the hypothalamus senses that a change needs to be made in order to reverse the heating of the area and reduce the amount of blood that is sent to the location. In turn this action will cool the body and return it to the normal temperature in which it should be maintained.
What are five ways your body maintains homeostasis?
sweating, shivering, fluid flow, blood flow, and blood spreading
Do a normal person should have positive fluid balance or negative fluid balance?
Total body water is 60% of body weight, Intracellular fluid is 40% of the body weight and extracellular fluid is 20% of the body weight.
Which Fluid similar to seawater surrounds and bathes all body cells?
Fluid similar to seawater that surrounds and bathes all body cells is called interstitial fluid. It contains glucose, salt, fatty acids and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, and acts as a fueling station of nutrients for our cells.
Does a spider keep its body temperature constant?
No. A spider has no mechanism to maintain its body temperature.
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 does the blatter do for you?

What factor determines the amount of fluid necessary to maintain proper body function?

How does a bobcat maintain water balance?
Bobcats maintain their water balance the same way humans do. Their body undergoes homeostasis in order to keep their body temperature and fluid levels in check.
What would happen without minerals in your body?
You would have a mineral defeciency and eventually become very ill. Your body needs minerals to maintain fluid/electrolyte balance to maintain homeostasis.
Why centipede's blood glow at night?
Centipede's having a phosphorescent fluid in there body it will glow at night. Actually centipede uses this fluid as a defense mechanism against its enemies.
What factor(s) will determine the amount of fluid (water) necessary to maintain proper body?

What is the funcution of the cardiovascular?
The Cadiovascualr System : 1. Circulates oxygenated blood and nutrients to the body. 2. It protects the body from infections and loss of blood. 3. It helps the body to maintain a normal temperature. 4. Also helps maintain the fluid balance of the body.
