Biology 2 Week 5 Assignment 2Assignment 2: HomeostasisThe minimum length for this assignment is 1,700 words. Be sure to check
your Turnitin report for your post and to make corrections before the
deadline of 11:59 pm Mountain Time of the due date to avoid lack of
originality problems in your work.The maintenance of homeostasis
is of major importance to all organ systems in the body and the overall
survival of the individual. Explain how homeostasis is the maintenance
of a dynamic range of environmental qualities rather than holding the
internal environment at a set point. What would be wrong with a set
point (say for body temperature) rather than a working range of
temperatures?The endocrine system is closely tied to homeostasis
functioning. Give two examples of hormones (including their glands of
origin and action) that play major roles in homeostatic processes in the
body. What happens if these hormones are disrupted in their actions?Also,
look at how we adapt to survival in the outside world. Discuss how
maintaining homeostasis gives us greater freedom of activity from
dependence upon changes in the external environment. What happens during
extremes that force our bodies out of homeostatic bounds? Give specific
examples.Why is the maintenance of homeostasis especially
important during development of new humans within the bodies of their
mothers? What can go wrong if specific homeostatic functions are
disrupted?
