homeostasis is the internal stability of our body it is very important because our tissues can only survive in a narrow range of temperature, and homeostasis keeps the temperature around 37ºc so we can survive.
2. Give three examples of ways your skin helps maintain homeostasis in your body
- the layered construction of our skin helps insulate the body on cold days.
- when the external temperature is too hot your skin responds to this stimuli by sweating trought its pores to lower the internal temperature.
- the skin phisically separates your body from the external envyronment making homeostasis easier.
on a cold day you shiver so you maintain your temperature, when you shiver your skeletal muscles rapidly contract realising heat so your internal temperature doesn't change.
You clearly responded to all the questions in a very precise way, I liked how you included the fact that we maintain a body temperature of 37 degrees all the time, not depending on the external temp.
