Homeostasis Basics Flashcards
(2 cards)
Key points need to include in answers
Body temp to low:
. Link to to little kinetic energy of molecules / molecules move to slowly
. This means fewer collisions / fewer ESC formed
Points keep forgetting
. Homeostasis in mammals involves physiological control systems that maintain the internal environment so it within restricted limits
. The possession of separate mechanisms involving negative feedback controls departures in different directions from the original state, giving a greater degree of control
. Blood glucose to low
Cells are unable to carry out normal activities because there’s not enough glucose to carry out respiration to provide energy - insufficient energy available for cell metabolism
. Important point- counteract change
. Multiple feedback systems means activity increase or decrease level so it returns to normal
