1. Explain why homeostasis is important to your body's functioning.
Homeostasis is important for our body to function because it maintains the appropriate body temperature. If we don't maintain homeostasis, or equilibrium, we can obtain psychological and psychomatic disorders.
2. Give three examples of ways your skin helps maintain homeostasis in your body.
When you sweat the skin is helping you cool dow.
After you sweat, the sweat is turned into vapor and it dries from your skin, so heat is being absorbed. When its hot, your body opens the pores to release heat, and when it cold the pore get smaller to keep heat in.
Also the nerves on your skin let you know when you being touched and it causes reactions to know when something is cold or hot.
3. Explain one way that your body maintains a constant temperature while outside on a cold day.
A way in which our body maintains a constant temperature is by sweating, in a hot day our body releases heat by sweat.
I think that you did a pretty good job in all of the questions it is interesting how eventhough we have the same questions we also have different prespresctives and point of views. You could also have included other examples for a clear understanding but for what they were asking you nailed it.
ReplyDeleteI really think your post explained precisely what the answer was trying to find. I do agree as well with the answers, as well being really accurate. The last question about maintaining body temperature during cold climates, has to do with shivering, because of maintaining heat, as well.
ReplyDeleteI thought your answers were very specific. I really liked the fact that you explained the consequences the fail of this required equilibrium in our body would create.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the only thing i would imrpove would be that next time you specify a bit more what body temperature assures homeostasis is being performed effectively.
Great Job!
I think your responses were really good and help me understand more the concept. I think you get confused in the last question. The rest is really good! ily chees
ReplyDeleteI think your examples of question number two are great. I didn't thougth about that. In question number three you got confused and answewered how will our body mantain a constant temperature in a hot day. Great joob.
ReplyDeleteI think that the way you describe the questions is awsome. question three had a little confusion but the rest was great.
ReplyDeleteyour answers were very specific and clear your three examples of how the skin helps homeostasis were great and you could really tell you put a lot of effort into this, the only mistake was spelling.
ReplyDeleteI think that your answers were really good and they gave me a different point of view
