How does the integumentary system help maintain homeostasis

Biology
1 answer:
oee [108]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The integumentary system is essential in maintaining homeostasis, a state of stability across factors like temperature and hydration, in the body. The integumentary system stores water and prevents dehydration as well as producing sweat to regulate temperature and rid the body of waste products

Explanation: Barrier protection and water transport can be demonstrated with a piece of fine cloth. Pour water with coarse sand in over the cloth. The sand (bad organisms) are kept out, but the water (sweat) can go through.

Insulation: Put a thermometer into a small block of styrofoam. Put the block on a piece of ice, and then in a cup of hot water and observe the temperature. That is how the skin helps to regulate body temperature.

Cooling: When we exercise a lot (running is good) we generate more internal body heat. Notice how exercise (work) or even just hotter temperatures in the cause us to sweat.

Measure the air temperature with a thermometer and a fan blowing over it. Then measure it again with the thermometer covered with a THIN wet paper towel. That is how our sweat cools our body by evaporation.

Why is it important to study grouse habitat selection and demography relative to human land use practices?
nadya68 [22]
Grouse species have evolved living in environments with little vertical structure and in areas with minimum human activity (from roads and cultivation to other more complex infrastructure). In the recent decades, there has been a significant increase in wind energy development in diverse areas and ecosystems. This development involves construction and placement of tall man-made structures, such as wind turbines and other infrastructure in habitats with high wind capacity. These habitats are often occupied by grouse species. This coexistence could severely endanger the species survivorship and reproductive ability. It is very important to study grouse habitat selection and demography, so that appropriate regulatory guidelines can be applied to wind energy development.

In _______________, brain cells are stimulated using a powerful magnetic field produced by a wire coil placed on a person's head
Masteriza [31]

Answer:Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Explanation:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation also known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. In TMS, brain cells are stimulated using a powerful magnetic field produced by a wire coil placed on a person's head that temporarily inactivates neural circuits. TMS devices operate completely outside of the body and affect central nervous system activity by applying powerful magnetic fields to specific areas of the brain that we know are involved in depression.

What is allosteric regulation? a) In allosteric regulation, genes are expressed constitutively. b) In allosteric regulation, a s
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

b) In allosteric regulation, a small molecule binds to a large protein and causes it to change its shape and activity.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation refers to the activity control of an enzyme by binding small molecules to regulatory sites on It. This binding causes an alteration of the protein conformation and consequently the shape of the active site and its catalytic activity are altered. Regulatory enzymes can act by either stimulating or inhibiting the activity of a protein.
