Homeostasis Research Paper

This is our homeostasis graphic organizer on sleep. The set point or normal range for sleep depends on your age. Ages 12 to 18 must have 8.5 to 10 hours of sleep keep homeostasis in balance. The receptors are your eyes because they see darkness and light. Control centers include melatonin which is a hormone in the hypothalamus which is located in the brain and the hormone orexin which is also in the hypothalamus. The effectors are the lungs, body, and heart. When you are asleep, your heart rate decreases, as does your breathing rate, and body temperature.
Not getting enough sleep is a way that disrupts the homeostasis of sleep.While you're sleeping Your body is busy tending to your physical and mental health When you're Deprived of sleep,your …show more content…
It all begins with your respiratory system which takes the oxygen provided and diffuses it into the blood. This then moves to the circulatory system which pumps blood that travels to the small intestine which collects nutrients from food molecules. Thus, the digestive system comes next. The blood cells filled with oxygen and nutrients will go to the large intestine where water will be diffused into the blood cells. After this, the blood cells will travel to the brain and the nutrients,water, and oxygen will be released. Any leftover water will go to the heart and will go to the kidneys. In the kidneys, some of the water will be diffused out of the cells and into nephrons. The nephrons will transport the water and other wastes out the body. All of this ends with the excretory …show more content…
The tissue that makes up the circulatory system is epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective tissue. The major cells in the circulatory system are the red blood cells and the white blood cells. Respiratory system consists of the lungs, mouth, nose,pharynx,larynx ,trachea and bronchi. The respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.Cells in respiratory system are epithelial cells, nerve cells, and muscle cells. Tissue in the respiratory system includes epithelial tissue, nerve tissue, muscle tissue, and connective tissue. Excretory system is composed of sweat glands, the liver, the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, rectum, and gallbladder. Excretion which is the bodily process of removing waste from the body is the excretory system’s function. The cells in the excretory system are pore cells, duct cells, canal cells, and a pair of gland cells that are fused together. Tissue involved is epithelial
