Understand The Process Of Homeostasis

To understand how homeostatic mechanism regulates the human body’s temperature, we must know and understand the organization of the human body and how it relates to homeostasis mechanism adapting to the external changes, such as the weather. It will be explained how the stimulus, receptors, integrator, effector, and the different tissue types play a key role in how the human body responds to changes in temperature. The human body is complex and consists of several levels of organization (Ireland, 2013, p. 21). The process of homeostasis, homeostatic mechanism, and thermoregulation all intertwine to correctively maintain body temperature. Keywords:

Homeostasis
Our body “contains proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, DNA and RNA” (Ireland, 2013, p. 18), and the body is only capable of maintaining a stable internal environment due to the property called homeostasis, which allows us to respond to changes in our internal environment by our behavior either consciously or unconsciously. How this is possible is related to the organization of the human body structure. As human beings, we can only function properly if we stay within narrow ranges of temperature and chemistry that comes from a “higher degree of organization” (Ireland, 2013, p. 18). The “human body is complex” and consists of several “levels of life organization” (Ireland, 2013, p. 21). …show more content…
The levels include the “chemical, cellular, tissue le, organ, and systems level” ” (Ireland, 2013, p.
