Click here to view a short animation that describes how the body maintains stable levels of glucose, even after consuming a big meal or a candy bar.What part of the body helps to maintains stable levels of glucose?
How is this an example of homeostasis?
Also, click here to read a short description of how the body maintains a stable body temperature.
Can you think of additional examples of homeostasis in the human body?
thats really cool! i didnt know the thing about how our hair moves to regulate our tempuratute before.

Cool video! I actually understand what a negative feedback mechanism is.

i liked that video! it wasn't so complicated as i would think and it was pretty easy to understand. your body does amazing things without you even knowing

The little details in the article are very cool, even though they might seem irrelevant.

The animation was helpful and the analogy of homeostasis and the temperature made it easier to understand homeostasis. The short description was also helpful and I agree with Lila's comment :D

I never knew that our hair was used to regulate our body temperature! I never knew hair had a true use.

I wasn't able to view the first clip, but the second article was very cool. It showed me how amazing the human body is! I also once was told that if you're hot, and then you drink something cold thinking that it will cool you down, that it won't because your body is working harder to accept that something cold is coming into your system. I find that easy to believe but what do you guys think?
ReplyDeletewow, that really helped me
ReplyDeleteit was not at all hard to understand

The article was full of good info. Now I know why my hairs stand up when I'm cold! :)

That is really cool! I couldn't view the first animation but the article was interesting! Oooohh I just realized that goosebumps from the cold are you muscles acting to move your hair up. I never really understood that until about 30 seconds ago.

I really liked the video! I like the fact that it was easy to understand. I think the best thing about it was that they used a thermostat as an example. This helped me have a better understanding on how the body maintains stable levels of homeostasis. :)

Wow, both of those, the video and article were really helpful. that really explains how our blood sugar stays the same or why we get paler when it's cold. Cool, this was a really good way to better understand homeostasis
ReplyDeleteAritri, 7G
Haha. I really like the video. It was helpful. \

Wow! This article really helped me get a better understanding of homeostasis, and why my hair acts the way it does when I am either cold or hot.

I liked the video, it wasn't hard to understand and it helped. It's also very cool that our hair is affected by the temperature!

This animation was very clear and helpful!

i looooove that picture leslie!:) it really helpsme understand homeostasis and blood sugar
ReplyDeleterena m.o. 7E
thanks for the video.... it helped me understand regulation better. it's really cool that the body has a "thermostat"

Hair is much more useful than I thought. I thought that hair was supposed to annoy you.
