Applied Science Level 3 Unit 9 Research HomeworkLearning Aim B: Homeostasis1.HomeostasisWhat is homeostasis? Why is it important?Homeostasis is the process in which the body keeps it's internal environment at a constant temperature despite changes in the external environment. It involves trying to maintain features of blood and tissue fluid within restricted limits. These include blood glucose levels, water level, blood pH and temperature. Homeostasis is important as it ensures that the cells of the body are in an environment that meets their requirements so that they can function effectively, if not cells and organs can become damaged. However this does not mean that they are no changes in the body, changes happen at an optimum point and due to homeostasis they have the ability to return to that optimum point therefore restore a balanced equilibrium. https://www.kerboodle.com/api/courses/14283/interactives/111859.html2.The Control Mechanism Explain how things are controlledHomeostasis relies on constant feedback.
