2.81: Understand that Homeostasis is the Maintenance of a Constant Internal Environment, and that Body Water Content and Body Temperature are Both Examples of Homeostasis

HOMEOSTASIS: Maintenance of a constant internal environment

EXAMPLES OF HOMEOSTASIS:

   1. OSMOREGULATION: Maintenance of constant Water level in the body

    This is the other way around.

    decrease in body temperature ---> shivering, vasoconstriction ---> increase in body temperature ---> normal body temperature

    increase in body temperature ---> increased sweating, vasodilation ---> decrease in body temperature ---> normal body temperature
