What else can I help you with?
Is there any other examples of homeostasis?
Other examples of hoemeostasis include:=blood sugar (glucoregulation)==and==osmoregulation; the control of water concentration in blood and body fluids. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/higher/biology/control_regulation/negative_feedback1_rev.shtml)=
What is homeostasis and how is it achieved by the body?
Physical excercise places greater demands on the abilities of the body to maintain a steady state.. Extra heat generated during excercise must be dissipated or abandoned, oxygen demands increase and more waste products such as sweat are produced. Homeostasis controls bodily temperate in ways such as sweating. The maintenance of homeostatis during excercise is principally the job of the circulatory system and respiratory systems, although skin, kidneys and liver are also very important.
How does glucoregulation work?
Glucoregulation is the regulation of glucose levels in the blood as the name suggests. The normal glucose levels are 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L, that is before you have eaten anything. After you eat your glucose levels in the blood obviously rise so they need to be brought back down to normal. There are glucoreceptors in the hypothalamus in the brain which detect that change in glucose levels. This then causes the pituitary gland (also next to the brain) to release hormones which make the pancreas produce insulin and release it into the blood. Insulin just triggers tissues and cells to absorb the glucose from the blood. The glucose is then stored in fat cells as glycogen (which we all call fat). Or it is used to make energy. On the other hand if glucose levels fall too low the pancreas produces more glucagon and less insulin. Glucagon makes the tissues and fat cells release glucose into blood to raise blood sugar levels, basically the opposite of insulin.
