Answer:

  1. Body starts to sweat: The core body temperature exceeded the set range of 35 degrees to 41.5 degree celsius
  2. Breathing rate increases: Cells are not receiving adequate oxygen to produce adequate energy.
  3. Amount of saliva produced changes: Saliva is produced in response to pH changes in the mouth or the intake of food.
  4. Body starts to shiver: Core temperature dropped below the set range of 35 to 41.5 degree celsius.

Explanation:

Homeostasis:

Homeostasis is the physiological process of regulating the internal environment of the body against fluctuations in the external environment.

Homeostasis systems in the body follow the following basic scheme (from 1 to 4):

  1. Stimulus
  2. Sensor
  3. Control
  4. Effector

Various control centers in the body sense varying body conditions and in turn activate certain effector mechanisms to regulate the changing conditions.

Thermoregulation:

  • Thermoregulation is the control and regulation of the optimum core temperature of the body between the range 35 to 41.5 degree celsius.
  • The control center is the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that receives signals from receptors in the body and initiates the appropriate response.
  • If the core temperature exceeds the optimum range, two mechanisms are initiated:
  1. The blood vessels towards the skin and extremities dilate, increasing the blood flow, allowing heat loss to the environment.
  2. Sweat glands are activated, evaporation of sweat produces a cooling effect.
  • If the core temperature decreases, again, two mechanisms are activated:
  1. Blood vessels to the extremities constrict to prevent heat loss; those towards the core dilate to provide maximum heat to the internal organs.
  2. Shivering mechanisms (involuntary muscle contractions) are activated that generate heat.

Respiratory Homeostasis:

During exercise or strenuous physical activity, our cells need to produce a large amount of energy through cellular respiration. Since, cellular respiration requires oxygen, more and more oxygen needs to be supplied to the cells. A low oxygen signal detected by the hypothalamus (control center in the brain) increases the breathing rate to ensure that sufficient oxygen reaches the cells.

Oral homeostasis:

The salivary glands maintain the homeostasis of the oral cavity. Saliva is not produced in response to food but to maintain the pH of the oral cavity to protect the teeth and enamel. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase which digests carbohydrates in the mouth. Therefore, the production of saliva increases in response to smell, sight and taste of food.

“If cells reproduce by copying themselves, how do we get all of the different cell types in the body?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The cells inside our bodies are “specialized.” This means that each type of cell performs a unique and special function. For this reason, each of the 200 different types of cells in the body has a different structure, size, shape, and function, and contains different organelles.

We are multicellular organisms, different types of cells are required to do different function.

Explanation:

Actually cells in our body won't reproduce, LOL.

It get divided ( see the attached image )

Some of the functions of the skin include all of the following except: Group of answer choices Protect underlying tissues. Regul
Sav [38]

The one that is not a function of the skin is making new blood cells.

<h3>What is skin?</h3>

Skin is considered a protective layer that covers all your body. This layer is essential for many reasons.

<h3>What are the functions of skin?</h3>

The main functions of this organ include:

  • Regulating temperature.
  • Producing Vitamin D after sun exposure.
  • Protecting other structures including inner tissues and organs.

However, it is not a function of the skin to produce new blood cells, this process occurs inside the bones in an area known as brown marrow rather than in the skin.

How do biotic factors rely on abiotic and other biotic factors? PLEASE HELP!!
creativ13 [48]
Biotic Factors depend/rely on abiotic factors because living things (biotic) need nonliving things (abiotic) to survive. Biotic rely on other Biotic factors because they need the food and resources from other living things.

For example, we (biotic factors) need energy from the sun and oxygen/air ,which is abiotic factors, to live and grow. Just like plants (biotic) need the sun's energy (abiotic) to help it grow.
I hope u understand me. Sorry If u don't

The body's ability to maintain a relatively constant internal environment is called homeostasis. This stability can be challenge
Anit [1.1K]

Homeostasis can be defined as the state of maintenance of the constant internal conditions by the living organisms. The homeostasis is maintained by the body so that it may function properly. The homeostasis will be disturbed by the reduced intake of the food and water. Healthy intake of water and food is essential in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The elevated or depressed blood pH along with extreme body temperatures will also disturb the homeostasis of the body making the person sick. Moreover, certain infectious organisms also alters the homeostasis of the body.

Hence, all the options are correct.
