When you are exercising different changes occur in the body to try and deal with the change in the environment and the reaction that occurs in the body. I will also explain the homeostatic mechanisms when someone exercises. Homeostasis is for the process of the body to maintain a relatively consistent internal state. The nervous system sends and receives signals about temperature, hydration, blood pressure and much more factors. The endocrine system carries chemical messengers to adjust bodily functions.
Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes. This is managed in the human body by a series of highly evolved and complex interactions that work to maintain or alter internal system to return to a normal and stable range that will best serve the individual’s needs; this range can be different depending on the physical and psychological functionality of the individual. This process is key to the survival of the individual as an inability to maintain homeostasis known as a homeostatic imbalance can lead to death usually through heart failure or can cause diseases such as diabetes and hypoglycaemia. There are 5 key parts of the body that help maintain homeostasis these are the liver, the kidneys, hypothalamus, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. These work to maintain homeostasis in terms or heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, blood glucose levels, iron levels and concentration of body fluids (blood water potential).
If the body rises above the optimum temperature your cells cannot maintain healthy cellular function and would become denatured. Receptors pick this negative feedback up and send a message through the sympathetic nervous system to flatten the hair on your body to increase conductivity, it causes the sweat glands to secrete liquid which evaporates of your body to cool you down and it causes your capillaries to rise to the surface of your skin to radiate heat to help cool the body down. All of this help to regulate your body’s temperature to maintain good cellular function therefore maintaining healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is
2.1, Use policies and procedures or other agreed ways of working that relate to health and safety. 2.2, Support others to understand and follow safe practices. 2.3, Monitor and report potential health and safety risks. 2.4, Use risk-assessment in relation to health and safety. 2.5, Demonstrate ways to minimise potential risks and hazards.
Action to take: Remove the carpet. 3.5- Describe what action should be taken if the individual’s wishes conflict with their plan of care in relation to health and safety and their risk assessment. If the individual’s wishes conflict with their plan of care in relation to health and safety and their risk assessment, action should be taken. For example, if there are risks in the environment from hazards that I can move like an item on the floor then I will do so with the individual’s agreement. If an individual asks me to move them in a different way than is stated in their care plan and risk assessment I will explain to the individual what their care plan and risk assessment says, the risks involved and my responsibilities to only follow the care plan.
Homeostasis is one of the characteristics of life. The standard and benchmark that applies to this characteristic is benchmark SC.BS.4.4, which is to describe how homeostatic balance occurs in cells and organisms. Homeostasis is the ability for an organism or cell to maintain a constant internal balance in response to outside changes. In other words, homeostasis makes sure that the environment inside a living thing stays balanced no matter what the conditions are in the environment outside. All living things have mechanisms that allow them to keep stable internal conditions.
There are three primary aims of the HSWA: To secure the health, safety and welfare of persons at work. To protect persons other than persons at work against risks to health or safety arising out of or in connection with the activities of persons at work. To control the
When the mechanisms find a change or deviation they send messages back to the brain with negative feedback. The brain then uses the information it has received to compare it to the normal and then initiates a response to return that part of the body system to its original state. A response that it might send out would be for example if the blood sugar level was too high the brain would respond by sending enzymes carrying insulin which would help by decreasing the levels, returning the blood sugar level to its normal state. Our body can also tell us to change something before getting to the stage where we physically need it. For example if your body is starting to run low on energy because you have not eaten for a while it may cause you to feel cold or tired.
Homeostasis is the process of keeping an internal environment the same and many mechanisms are used to maintain this environment. The internal environment refers to the conditions inside the body such as blood, tissue fluids and metabolic processes .It provides a stable internal environment for organisms and for their cells. The skin, kidneys, liver, endocrine system, nervous system and sensory system all play a part in maintaining the internal environment with narrow limits. Negative Feedback A very important method the body uses to achieve homeostasis is negative feedback, it applies to almost all the systems in the body. Negative feedback is where various receptors and effectors cause a reaction to ensure certain conditions remain the same.
The two types of consciousness our text discusses; are the perceptual consciousness and the mental structure of our brain. The Perceptual consciousness is the sense that we have when we know what is going on around us and we can communicate and know what we are saying. The other state is when our minds has a suppressed thought or memory of an image in our unconscious that when it is recalled, passes through our preconscious, that filters the unpleasant parts and guards against anything that may cause anxious or anxiety feelings. This is important to understand this relationship between the three states of consciousness because it is necessary for us the understand how our brain functions and why we do the things we do when we are awake and to understand that if we can control our brain function better, we can better control our lives.
