The human body organ known as the pancreas secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon. These hormones regulate the level of gluc

ose in the bloodstream. If the level of glucose is too low, the pancreas secretes glucagon which causes the glucose level to increase; if the glucose level is too high, the hormone insulin will lower the glucose level.
What name is given to this type of regulatory system?

Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis indicates the body's property of remaining in balance even when radical changes occur in the external environment. Homeostasis is a regulatory system of the body, it is responsible for keeping our body in constant balance. An example of homeostasis can be seen in the question above, where it shows that when the glucose level is too low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which causes the glucose level to rise; If the glucose level is too high, the insulin hormone will lower the glucose level.

Homeostasis is guaranteed by physiological processes that occur in a coordinated manner in the body. Among the main mechanisms of homeostatic control, we can mention those that control body temperature, pH, body fluid volume, blood pressure, heartbeat, blood element concentrations, hormone release and so on.

irinina [24]

Animals use protein for several roles in the body, such as building and repairing muscles and other body tissues. It is needed to form new skin cells, grow hair, build muscle tissue, and more. It also assists in creating body chemicals like hormones and enzymes that are needed for normal function. It provides energy (like carbohydrates do) and keeps the immune system strong.

Why is so little of the energy passed on?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Why is there less energy at each trophic level?

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. ... A food chain can usually sustain no more than six energy transfers before all the energy is used up.

IRISSAK [1]

Because of high blood pressure or from injury to the glomeruli.

<h3>Why do proteins typically not appear in urine samples?</h3>

There is protein in the blood, but healthy kidneys should only remove very little amounts (traces) of it through the filters into the urine (glomeruli). Protein loss in the urine is not typical.

<h3>What are the proteins found in typical urine?</h3>

You typically have a very small amount of protein in your urine. If your urine contains a lot of protein (proteinuria), your kidneys may be the source of the issue. Your kidneys are a set of organs that purify surplus water and waste from your blood to create urine.
