What is homeostasis and how is it effected whilst training?
Q. What is homeostasis and how is it effected during training?
Asked by - Thu Nov 26 05:26:44 2009 - Medicine - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Umm, well, homeostasis is the body's system of regulating it's internal environment to keep it in the right conditions. And I guess that while training it is affected by: The body getting hotter than it's normal temperature (37 degrees), which is recognised by the hypothalamus, which then sends messages to stimulate sweat glands, to help cool down the body, And I guess that during training, the body recognises that it is not getting enough oxygen to create energy, so it begins to respire anaerobically. I guess that that's homeostasis?

How malfunctions in Homeostasis mechanisms can lead to disorders?

A. Almost all disease are caused by malfunctions in homeostasis, so you have to be more specific. Otherwise I'll provide a few examples. One disease is Type 1 diabetes. This is where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin for the body. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, especially when they are too high. When the glucose levels are too high, there is an increase in infections and tissue damage. This can be seen in diabetic patients who have blindness and nerve damage. Another disease is arrhythmia. This is where the heart's pacemaker cells do not function properly and cause abnormal heart beats.

A. The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.

What are some other examples of how feedback mechanisms help maintain homeostasis?
Q. Regulation of an organism's internal environment to maintain conditions suitable for its survival is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is a characteristic of life because it is a process that occurs in all living things. Living things also use internal feedback to respond to internal changes. For example, organisims must make constant adjustments to maintain the correct amount of water and minerals in their cells and the proper internal temperature. Without this ability to adjust to internal changes, organisms die. What are some other examples of how feedback mechanisms help maintain homeostasis?

A. Blood pressure. When blood pressure is low, your pituitary gland will release ADH which will increase water re-absorption in the kidney, leading to an increase in plasma levels and an increase in blood pressure. Blood p H is similar. Your body converts carbonic acid into bicarbonate all the time. H2CO3 (H+) + (HCO3-). p H is a measure of hydrogen atoms in the blood. When there are too many hydrogen atoms in the blood, the bicarbonate will combine with the excess hydrogen atoms and form carbonic acid, lowering the free H+ atoms, and thus lowering the p H. This works either way. Hope this helps.

How does a python experience homeostasis?
Q. I need this for my science project. And homeostasis is like how your body responds to the environment-for example, if your body gets under 98 degrees u shiver to get warm again.

A. Snakes don't experience homeostasis. Homeostasis is something only endotherm's (like humans, cat's, dog's and horse's) are capable off. Homeostasis is when the body self regulates its internal temperature, as you said shivering to get warm or sweating to cool down. Snakes are ectothermic and they do something called thermoregulating. If they are too cold they find a warm basking spot and the external temperature and sunlight heat their internal body temperature, if the snake is too hot they find a shady area or small pond and use the external temperatures to cool down their internal body temperature. Snakes bodies are incapable of sweating, shivering or any form of homeostasis, they use the external environment to regulate their body… [cont.]

A. Hypothermia or hyperthermia lead to death. If the human body cools to 92 - 86 F or goes over 108 F there is loss of consciousness. loss of ionic/water balance Cells in hypotonic solutions swell is due to a low solute concentration outside the cell while cells in hypertonic solutions shrink due to water lost to the higher solute concentration outside the cell.

A. Desert plants like to maintain a low level of transpiration to keep in water which can be scarce. To do this, desert plants often lower their surface area, by growing more circular (see 1st link below) and making their leaves much smaller. Other have stomata located mostly on the underside of their leaves where the shade keeps water from evaporating as fast. Also, stomata can be deeply embedded in the epidermis (leaf skin) to prevent water from evaporating as fast. Some plants have hair to maintain a vapor level to keep more water from evaporating. Also, some plants close their stomata during the day to prevent rapid loss under the intense sun. Some plants shed their leaves completely to avoid transpiration during very dry seasons. This is… [cont.]

A. Homeostatic balances are kept in a number of systems in vertebrates including the agnathian species of fish. Blood sugar is kept at a stable level by releasing insulin. Kidneys balances the blood and retains blood volume by filtering certain nutrients and water from the nitrogenous wastes. They are regulated by the endocrine system. Cardio/respiratory homeostasis; O2/CO2 exchange surfaces in gills regulate gas homeostasis and blood p H.

Q. Is maintaining constant weight part of homeostasis? And if so, what does the body do to maintain the weight?
Asked by Dennis L - Mon Apr 7 11:00:32 2008 - Diet & Fitness - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Good question. I know body temperature, blood glucose levels, water content of cells and blood, p H balance in the blood and cells and blood pressure, are a few of the functions regulated through homeostasis, and I do believe maintaining a constant weight is one of them. Bodybuilding or developing excess muscle is an option that some choose to undergo to make conscious changes to their physiques. If at any time the goal changes, the muscle can be lost, especially if caloric intake is reduced. If you spend most of your time lifting heavy weights, your muscles will grow larger. A shift in your homeostasis has now taken place. The simple action of weight lifting causes more protein synthesis in the muscles being exercised with weights.… [cont.]

A. Obesity is associated with profound alterations in androgen secretion, transport, metabolism, and action, according to a dichotomous behavior depending on sex. Obese men are characterized by a progressive decrease of testosterone levels with increasing body weight, whereas obese women, particularly those with the abdominal phenotype, tend to develop a condition of functional hyperandrogenism. Reduced sex hormone binding globulin synthesis and circulating blood levels represent the sole common mechanism which is responsible in both sexes. Among other still partially undefined factors, mechanisms potentially responsible for the sex dichotomy in androgen levels involve specific alterations of gonadotropin secretion, estrogens, the… [cont.]

A. I dont think that you can equate or explain homeostasis and coffee in the same sentence. Habitual coffee drinking can totally mess up your equilibrium if your not careful. Although coffee is known to clean you out, too much coffee can make you jittery, mess with your heart rate and blood pressure. One cup of coffee is fine, but two, three, four is not good. I am Spanish, started drinking at age four, and the effects of drinking so much is my blood pressure is high, use to get nervous. When I tried to get off of it I had mind blowing migraines, irritability...things like that. I also think that coffee depletes the body from other important vitamins like potassium which is produced in the kidneys. As a result i often have kidney infections.… [cont.]

A. Homeostasis is the constancy of the internal environment. The cells membrane is semipermeable, allowing and sometimes not allowing certain things into the cell to help maintain homeostasis. The cell membrane houses proteins that can serve as receptors. It also keeps everything within the cell inside.
