ENDOCRINE ORGANS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Humans have ____ for body temperature, blood glucose concentrations, electrolyte concentrations, pH levels, tendon tension and variables.
A
positive feedback mechanisms
B
set points
C
a wide internal range
D
no regulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hormones are responsible for key homeostatic processes including control of blood glucose levels and control of blood pressure. Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal conditions within cells and whole organisms such as temperature, water, and sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature, nutrient concentration, acidity, water, sodium, calcium, oxygen, as well as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate are some of the internal body variables that must remain within a certain range.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis (“steady state”). These changes might be in the level of glucose or calcium in blood or in external temperatures. Homeostasis means to maintain dynamic equilibrium in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment. Things like our temperature, blood pH and blood glucose concentration needs to stay relatively stable in order to keep our cells functioning effectively.
