Answer:

Matthew is dehydrated. He must treat this by drinking liquids, such as water or an isotonic drink.

Explanation:

The physical exercise that Matthew is practicing, already promotes the loss of fluids from his body. When he decides to practice this exercise in a high temperature environment, the loss of fluids is even greater, requiring Matthew to replace these fluids if he does not want to be dehydrated. However, he did not take any fluids with him, which caused his body to lose excess fluids through sweat and cause uncomfortable symptoms such as the throbbing pain in his legs.

To treat this, Matthew must drink fluids constantly.

What are five body functions that monitor homeostasis?
KIM [24]

It regulates temperature, glucose, toxins, blood pressure, and pH.

<span>Temperature
The body must maintain a relatively constant temperature. If it gets too hot, the body employs vasodilation to cool down. This dilates the blood vessels, allowing more heat to escape from them through the skin.Glucose
The body must regulate glucose levels to stay healthy. When glucose levels become too high, the body releases a hormone called insulin. When they become too low, the body converts the glycogen in the blood to glucose.Toxins
Toxins in the blood can disrupt the body's homeostasis. Thus, it signals the urinary system to ensure that the toxins are excreted.Blood Pressure
The body must maintain healthy levels of blood pressure. To do so, the brain sends signals to the heart to speed up or slow down according to the blood pressure.pH
The lungs control the pH amount in the body. If pH levels become unbalanced, the lungs push more or less carbon dioxide out of the diaphragm. This can raise or lower pH levels in the body.</span>
