PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -To maintain the body’s homeostasis and respond appropriately to changes in the environment, hormone production and secretion must be tightly controlled. To achieve this control, many bodily functions are regulated not by a single hormone but by several hormones that regulate each other (see figure 2).

Detailed explanation-2: -The glands of the endocrine system secrete hormones into the bloodstream to maintain homeostasis and regulate metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment. Homeostasis is maintained by the nervous and endocrine systems. Negative feedback is a response to a stimulus that keeps a variable close to a set value.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The control and maintenance of blood sugar levels is an example of homeostatic regulation by the endocrine system. Blood sugar is maintained by two hormones secreted by the pancreas: insulin and glucagon. Blood sugar rises after digestion of food.
