Homeostasis
Introduction
Homeostasis basically means the regulation of
your body there are 4 main regulations, they
are;
 Thermoregulation
 Urea and ions regulation
 Blood glucose regulation
 Osmoregulation
Thermoregulation
Thermoregulation is basically the regulation of the body's
temperature.
A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts
the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature,
thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation
Urea and Ions Regulation
Kidney failure has serious
consequences as it means that the
water and ion balance cannot be
regulated, and the levels of toxic urea
build up in the body. This would
ultimately be fatal if not treated.
Blood Glucose Regulation
Glucose is essential for all cells of the body. It provides the 'fuel' for
respiration in mitochondria which generates ATP, the energy source for all
cell processes. Without a sufficient supply of glucose, cells quickly start to
'shut down' processes. It is therefore important to regulate the supply of
glucose in the blood. Brain cells are particularly sensitive to low glucose
levels.
Blood glucose levels rise after a meal, as digested food is absorbed in
the small intestine, and fall between meals as glucose is used by the cells
of the body
Mitochondria- an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which
the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It
has a double membrane, the inner part being folded inwards to form
layers.
Osmoregulation
Osmoregulation is the active
regulation of the osmotic pressure of
an organism's fluids to maintain the
homeostasis of the organism's water
content; that is, it keeps the
organism's fluids from becoming too
diluted or too concentrated
