Explore the concept of homeostasis and its importance in maintaining equilibrium in the human body. Learn about different examples of homeostasis and how organ systems use negative feedback to regulate bodily functions. Practice predicting and analyzing homeostatic mechanisms through graphs and diagrams. Additionally, understand the role of water polarity and its significance in the human body.

Homeostasis Learning Goals • I can explain the meaning of homeostasis & dynamic equilibrium • I can describe 4 examples of homeostasis in the human body • I can explain how organ systems use negative feedback to maintain homeostasis • I can apply and extend examples of homeostasis using graphs and diagrams
PRACTICING PREDICTING… • Create a hypothesis • What do you think a graph of maintaining body temperature will look like? • Can you explain Using sci. language? -dynamic equilibrium -vasoconstrictioN -vasodilation
PracticE Analyzing & ApplYIng Q1. how DOES this example illustrate the general principle that "Positive feedback is useful when there is an advantage to making a rapid change.“? Q2. What would go wrong if your body used positive feedback to regulate body temperature?
Practice AP Exam free Response Q Homeostatic maintenance of optimal blood glucose levels has been intensively studied in vertebrate organisms. a) identify TWO pancreatic hormones and describe the effect of each hormone on blood glucose levels. (b) For ONE of the hormones you identified in (a), identify ONE target cell and discuss the mechanism by which the hormone can alter activity in that target cell. Include in your discussion a description of reception, cellular transduction, and response
