Health blog!

Welcome students to our class blog. We will be using this space for class discussions to examine, evaluate, and share knowledge. Discussions provide opportunities for students to think critically on the topics we will be learning about in Health class. Concepts, assignments, and readings will be used as the basis for our discussions to create a positive learning community in which students are willing to share their ideas and to accept constructive criticism from their peers.

Homeostasis helps regulate your body temperature. with out homeostasis the tissue will not survive, because it can only live in a stable internal enviroment. The regular body temperatureis 37 degrees celcius

2. Give three examples of ways your skin helps maintain homeostasis in your body.
  1. Provides a barrier against microorgganism and dirt freom entering the body.
  2. Helps to insulate the body and provides a cushion for internal organs from injury.
  3. Also helps mantain homeostasis by reeacting to body changes in temperature.

3. Explain one way that your body maintains a constant temperature while outside on a cold day.

The body mantains its heat during a cold day by shivering. this causes the skeletal muuscles to contract releasing heat into body.
