Answer:
Homeostasis
Explanation:
Homeostasis is a mechanism of the body which involves negative feedback loops that helps the body to maintain a stable internal environment when there is an external or internal change.
An example of homeostasis in the human body is the regulation of the internal temperature of the body. When there is a change in the normal body temperature, for example, if your temperature drops sharply below 37 degrees Celsius, homeostasis kicks off in the body to maintain the normal body temperature. Homeostasis uses thermoregulation mechanism which triggers shivering to raise the body temperature in an attempt to return it back to normal.
Homeostasis also makes it possible for the body to maintain the balance of water and other substances in the body like calcium in our body. For example, when the calcium level drops below normal level, the parathyroid gland secretes hormone which helps in the increasing of blood calcium levels.
Homeostasis s a essential mechanism that helps keeps the body in a balance and functional state.
Answer:
1 . base of brain
: A. pituitary
2 . located on kidneys
: C. adrenal
3 . located in the neck
: D. thyroid
4 . associated with the small intestine
: B. pancreas
Explanation:
Hypothalamus is present below the thalamus of the brain. The pituitary gland is present at the base of the brain in the hypophyseal fossa. Adrenal glands are the paired glands. One adrenal gland lies superior to each kidney in the retroperitoneal space.
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland and is located just inferior to the larynx in the neck. The right and left lateral lobes of this gland are present on either side of the trachea. The pancreas is usually connected to the duodenum of the small intestine by two ducts. This arrangement releases the pancreatic juice into the small intestine.
