1. Explain why homeostasis is important to your body's functioning.
Homeostasis is essential to my body´s functioning due to the fact that without is my body´s temperature wouldnt be able to be stable. In addition, this internal stability or steady state in my body is essential due to the fact that without it my tissues wouldnt be able to survive. Tissues ONLY survive within a range of specific conditions. In order for them to survive my body temperature has to be a steady 37 degrees Celsius constantly.
2. Give three examples of ways your skin helps maintain homeostasis in your body.
1. One clear example of how my skin keeps homeostasis in my body is that the skin provides a physical barrier against dirt and other microorganism.
2. Another way the skin helps maintain homeostasis in my body is that it helps to insulate my body on cold days.
3. A third way is the fact that the skin helps to cushion internal organs against injury, preveting organs to fatally damage.
3. Explain one way that your body maintains a constant temperature while outside on a cold day.
My body helps maintain a constant temperature while outside on a cold day by shivering. Shivering is caused by the rapid contraction of skeletal muscles. The contracting muscles release heat that help maintain the body temperature stable during a cold day.
Daniela I agree with your answers. They are very well developed, contain the correct information and are comprehensible. The reader can easily understand the responses. Your examples for question two are excellent.
ReplyDeleteI think your answer for the first question is excelent, very well developed because you included things such as the body temperature. I also like the answers from the other questions you gave good examples and clear answers
ReplyDeleteDaniela, your answers are understandable and in the case of the first one shows you did some research whoch is great!!!
