homeostatis

• What is the definition of homeostasis?

  Regulation of internal conditions for optimum function
• Why do enzymes require stable conditions to function?


  They cannot work well if conditions change
• What are the three internal conditions homeostasis regulates in the human body?

  Blood glucose concentration, body temperature, water levels
• What is a stimulus in the context of homeostasis?

  A change to the environment
• What role do receptor cells play in homeostasis?

  They detect changes in the environment
• What is the function of the Coordination Center in an automatic control system?

  Receives and processes information from receptors
• What is an effector in the context of homeostasis?

  A muscle or gland that carries out a response
• What happens after the Coordination Center processes information from receptor cells?

  It sends instructions to the effector
• What is the purpose of homeostasis in the human body?

  To keep internal conditions as constant as possible
• How does exercise affect homeostasis in the body?

  It can cause changes in glucose, temperature, and water
• How do automatic control systems maintain homeostasis?

  By detecting changes and initiating responses
