Homeostasis is a complicated process involving many negative feedback pathways. One of the main 'mediators' for homeostatic function is the hypothalamus in the brain, where all the afferent neurons from the receptors around the body relay their information to. The hypothalamus will then calculate the difference between the received impulse and a homeostatic set point before generating a response which is sent down efferent nerves to the effector.

∙ 15y agoThere are different organs, depending on what particular aspect of homeostasis you are talking about: * temperature is monitored mainly by the thermoregulatory centre in the brain, but also by receptors on the skin * the pancreas monitors blood-sugar levels * the brain monitors water and ion content.

Which structure of a cell helps in maintaining homeostasis by moving things into or out of a cell?
The cell membrane controls what substances go in and out of the cell. It is basically the most important structure when talking about homeostasis.
The brain area that most directly controls the activity of the autonomic nervous system is the?
I believe it's the hypothalmus, which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis.
Master organ of the body?
The Master organ is the kidneys, because they help to maintain homeostasis. The Master gland is the hypothalamus, because it controls all other glands, and also contributes to homeostasis. Some people may consider the brain as the master organ, but without homeostasis it would not be able to function, it would be dead.
Which term refers to the body's ability to keep internal conditions the same even though conditions in the environment may change?
Regulatory homeostasis
How does the nervous system help the body maintain homeostasis?
The parasympathetic system counteracts the sympathetic system.It regulates breathing and heartbeats
How does the cell membrane control homeostasis?
it controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What controls movement of materials in and out of nucleus?
The cell membrane controls the movement of materials in and out of the nucleus. This helps to support and homeostasis.
What are examples of controls in science?
homeostasis-control of the body's internal enviroment
What part of the cell is most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The cell membrane is the most important in maintaining homeostasis. This is because the cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What help the body maintain homeostasis?
Temperature regulation in the body is maintained but the brain stem. They hypothalamus of the brain controls hydration in the body. Both help maintain homeostasis.
How does blood help maintain homeostasis?
-Controls pH by the amount of CO2 dissolved -Bloodstream is the main system used to transport hormones ie. insulin -Controls body temperature - vasodilation cools blood and brings it back to the system
Do living and non living entities exhibit homostatic controls?
Any thing that does not obtain homeostasis is not classified as living
What does the membrane do on the plant cell?
The cell membrane of a plant cell controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell, and therefore maintains homeostasis.
What region of the brain coordinates the nervous and endocrine systems and controls many body activities related to homeostasis?
Hypothalamus
Which structure of a cell helps in maintaining homeostasis by moving things into or out of a cell?
The cell membrane controls what substances go in and out of the cell. It is basically the most important structure when talking about homeostasis.
What organelle regulates homeostasis for the cell?
Not one certain organelle controls homestasis . homeostasis is when your body is normal or in balance . so if your sick then your body will reguratate also know as throwing up . your body does this to get the bad toxins out so your body can not be sick so in other words its maintaining homeostasis.
The brain area that most directly controls the activity of the autonomic nervous system is the?
I believe it's the hypothalmus, which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis.
