Homeostasis

I currently did a lab about homeostasis, but I didn't have a clear understanding what it was at first. So now I am going to redo a blog about Homeostasis and show that now I do have a better understanding of what Homeostasis is.
Homeostasis is the process that maintains balance or equilibrium of an organism's internal environment. For example our body temperature is controlled by homeostasis. Homeo = same; stasis = standing.
Human homeostasis refers to the body's ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather.An inability to maintain homeostasis may lead to death or a disease, a condition known as homeostatic imbalance.
We as human we need homeostasis in our body. The more we are active the more we need it. When its cold you shiver and when its hot you sweat right, Why?

This is what you would call homeostasis taking place in our bodies. In the human body, it has various ways of keeping warm and or cool depending on its outside world conditions. With other organs functioning properly blood levels of vital nutrients must be helping to. This will allow the heart activity and blood pressure in the body to react in order for blood to be involved to all body tissues. The way in which our bodies talk in this specific condition is for homeostasis to occur. 
The nervous and endocrine systems are the key contributors to this situation by sending electrical impulses by nerves or blood borne hormones. Also there are 3 components that in themselves help control the homeostatic control mechanisms. The first component is the receptor, which starts the path of homeostasis by sensing the conditions of the environment and responding to the changes,which is known as the stimuli. The stimuli helps by sending information to the second component of this chain (the control center). The control center determines the set point. It then analyzes the input it receives and determines the response or course of action. 
Then comes the last step. The component. The compoent to this homeostasis path is the effector. The effector provides the means for the control center's response to the stimulus. Thats how you know when homeostasis is occuring in your body system.

Self Analysis

Since school started in Anat & Phy I have been really struggling. I member at first when it came to writing a blog I didn't know what to write and I could make it as long as a blog should be. I was really struggling with the understanding of things. Not knowing what your doing is not a fun feeling. As I get more and more into the semester i started getting the hang of writing a longer bog and understanding what Im writing about. Its never easy to understand science and the body. My strongest subject in Anatomy is the skeletal system. The bones are so easy to learn and not hard to forget where they are because they'll never move.

I had a really hard time with the tissues and homeostasis. With the tissues they all looked the same to me besides the color was the only different thing about them. I couldn't figure out what was what. No matter how hard I tried to study or by memory I couldn't get the names of them right. I'm really good at memorizing things but when it came to tissues I just couldn't remember them. The one tissue that I finally membered by heart was the compact bone. It was something about that tissue that was different that just made me memorize it. It was a light black color with a bunch of circles in the middle and since i know the bones so well I memorized the Compact bone structure.

As for homeostasis I don't quite have a great understanding of it, but i will. I'm tempted to understand what that word means and how is it involved in our life. We did a lab on it once and i kind of got the idea of it. I had to ask a friend if she understood it. So I asked if she could tell me a little on what she understood by it. She said it had to do with our body and the way we move on a daily basis. That kind of got me to understand what homeostasis meant but still need a little improvement on it. I'm going to do one more lab report on it and I hope from there I will have a better understanding on what Homeostasis means. That way when someone was to ask me what it meant I'm able to answer with an answer and not a I don't know answer.

Also we had did a blog about the levels of the organization system. That is where the body is position. I kind of know that well but not so well where if someone was to ask me what position it was I probably would be able to name some but not all of them. There are some position that I do know. For the past couple of blogs or labs we did I had to use a posterior and an anterior view. Those are the only ones that I member by heart.

Overall I think I got an understanding on some of the things we did in here, but since the I have to do one more blog I should have a complete understanding of the things we been doing in here. That way all the things I learned this semester it'll help me towards next semester.
