A constant level of tissue fluid is maintained by what body system?

The lymphatic system helps maintain a constant level of tissue fluid by collecting excess fluid and returning it to the bloodstream. This helps regulate the balance of fluids in the body and prevent swelling or edema.


Insulin and Glucagon and what happens to the person has skipped e meal?

After a person has skipped a meal, the person's blood glucose level will stay at its normal level as there isn't any glucose absorbed. To maintain this normal blood glucose level, the pancreatic cells will secrete glucagon which stimulates the body to convert stored glycogen into glucose. There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).


What secretion is the level of sodium in blood regulated by?

The level of sodium in the blood is primarily regulated by the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which helps maintain blood pressure and fluid balance. Additionally, the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) can counteract aldosterone's effects by promoting sodium excretion when blood volume is too high.


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?

This process is known as glycogenolysis, where stored glycogen in the liver is broken down into glucose and released into the blood to maintain blood glucose levels.


What animals are warm blood?

Mammals and birds are warm-blooded animals, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally to maintain a constant level, regardless of the external environment. This ability allows them to thrive in a wide range of habitats and climates.

What is the term for the ability of the body to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level in spite of variations in intake of sugar?

The term for the body's ability to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level is called "glucose homeostasis." This process involves a complex interplay of hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.

What is an example of autoregulation?

One example of autoregulation is the ability of the body to maintain a constant blood pressure by adjusting the diameter of blood vessels in response to changes in pressure. When blood pressure is too high, vessels will constrict to reduce blood flow, and when it is too low, vessels will dilate to increase blood flow, helping to maintain a steady pressure.
