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.

It is the function of maintaining your body temperature regulated. Disorders can be prevented if it wouldn't be for homeostasis.

2. Give three examples of ways your skin helps mantain homeostasis in your body?
  1. It acts as a physical barrier against dirt and microorganisms entering the body.
  2. Its skin layers helps protect the internal organs, that way keeping them safe.
  3. Reacts to stimuli when there is a change in body temperature.

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

Shivering is one of the reactions that the body makes in a cold day. The muscles contract and releases heat in the body.
