Homeostasis in Humans

..This maintenance of a constant internal environment is called homeostasis. Homeostasis ensures that the body cells are provided with a relatively constant environment so that they work efficiently and optimally, even though there might be changes outside the body..

Homeostasis in Humans

Many aspects of our body’s internal environment e.g. body temperature, the concentration of glucose in the blood and tissue fluid, and the osmotic concentration and volume of the blood, are kept at almost constant levels. This maintenance of a constant internal environment is called homeostasis. Homeostasis ensures that the body cells are provided with a relatively constant environment so that they work efficiently and optimally, even though there might be changes outside the body.

Negative feedback mechanisms are used to keep a fluctuating feature within narrow limits. In fact, any particular feature maintained by a negative feedback mechanism cannot be kept really constant. There is usually some fluctuation about a set point. This is caused by the time taken for the information to be transmitted to the effectors and for the actions of the effectors to take effect. The longer this time delay, the greater the fluctuations will be.

Homeostatic Role of the Kidney

The kidney is a red-brown, bean-shaped organ about 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick. The pair of kidneys is attached to the back of the abdominal cavity, to either side of the backbone, just behind the stomach and the liver. It receives oxygenated blood from the aorta through the renal artery, and deoxygenated blood is carried away in the renal vein to the inferior vena cava.

    Whenever I read someone lament that they are bored, I wonder if they have any knowledge of what is happening beneath their skin.

    I always enjoy your blogs on the human body, Mr. Ghaz.
