Define homeostasis as the regulation of internal conditions

• What are internal conditions in the body?

  Factors inside your body that must stay stable
• How does water balance affect the body?

  It regulates fluid levels
• What happens if internal conditions are not maintained?

  Organs may not work efficiently and illness can occur
• What role does blood glucose play in the body?

  It supplies energy to cells
• At what temperature do organs work best?

  37°C
• Why are stable internal conditions important?

  They ensure organs work efficiently and prevent illness
• What are the consequences of not maintaining stable internal conditions?

  • Inefficient organ function
  • Increased risk of illness
  • Potential for dehydration or overhydration
• What is the normal body temperature that must be maintained?

  37°C
• Why is homeostasis important for the body?

  It keeps internal conditions stable for proper function
• How does stable blood glucose affect energy levels?

  It ensures consistent energy availability
• What are the three main internal conditions that must be maintained?

  • Temperature: Keeps body at 37°C
  • Blood glucose: Supplies energy to cells
  • Water balance: Regulates fluid levels
• What are the overall benefits of maintaining stable internal conditions?

  • Efficient organ function
  • Prevention of illness
  • Smooth operation of bodily processes
  • Overall health maintenance
• What does homeostasis mean?

  Regulation of internal conditions
• What physiological response does the body have to lower temperature during exercise?

  The body sweats to cool down
• What role does balanced water play in the body?

  It prevents dehydration or overhydration
• What are two factors involved in homeostasis?

  Temperature and blood glucose
• How does maintaining stable conditions affect body functions?

  It ensures efficient body functions and prevents illness
• What are the key components of homeostasis in the human body?

  • Regulation of internal conditions
  • Factors like temperature and blood glucose
  • Mechanisms to maintain stability
  • Importance for efficient body functions
• What happens to the heart if body temperature drops below 37°C?


  The heart may slow down
