Homeostasis
LO Define homeostasis and explain how we
maintain a constant body temperature.
Key Words
Homeostasis
Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal
environment.
Write this down
What is Homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the
maintenance of a constant
internal environment
Water
Carbon dioxide
Oxygen
Blood sugar
Homeostasis
Homeostasis
Homeostasis is keeping levels the same.
In order for our tissues and cells to function
properly, the internal conditions of the body
must be kept constant.
Temperature
Function of skin
1.Protects us from
infection .
2. Keeps our body at the
right temperature.
3. Covered in receptors
so we can feel things.

Human
work best at
37C, so the bodys temperature is
controlled
On a cold day
1. Vasoconstriction of Blood vessels.
Capillaries get smaller so a Larger amount of blood
can flow near the skin surface. Heat is kept near to
the body.
2. No sweat is produced.
3. Body starts to shiver
to produce heat for the
body.
4. Hairs and hair erector
muscles stand on end to
trap a layer of air.
The hypothalamus
receives nerve
impulses from heat
and cold
thermoreceptors in
the skin.
There are also
receptors in the
hypothalamus- called
central
thermoreceptors.

Negative Feedback
Its the way in which homeostasis is achieved.
A change sets of a response that cancels out the change.
It is a self regulatory system that ensures that changes are reversed and
returned back to the normal level to maintain conditions at particular levels.
