Homeostasis Research Papers Samples For Students

The effects of acid reflux on the equilibrium (homeostasis) of the human digestive system vary according to the extent the disease attacks the esophagus. Located in the upper digestive tract of the body, the esophagus tube carries ingested food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach (nih.gov 2013). The physiological effects of acid reflux disease on the digestive system affect its homeostasis by irritating the esophagus causing different symptoms.
When acid reflux disease (GERD) occurs the muscle at the end of the esophagus fails to close properly allowing leakage of the contents of the stomach backing up ...

Abstract

The paper articulates the electrolyte and fluid study by describing functions and location of various body fluids and factors that affects variations in fluid compartments. These body fluids involves Body fluids involve blood plasma, mucus and lymphatic fluid, saliva and gastric juice, and other fluids such as tears, sweat, semen and vaginal secretions. The functions, regulation, sources and losses of the main electrolytes in the body are also described. The paper also outlines the basic principles of some of the processes that occur in human body such as osmosis, filtration, active transport and diffusion.
In order to understand ...

Introduction

The human body consists various cells that are actively involved in the maintenance of metabolism. Although, the body organs, cells as well as tissues usually carry out different functions, the body cells are similar in regard to their pertinent metabolic needs (Sherwood, 2015). Thus, maintaining the internal environment at a constant state mainly by proving the oxygen as well as nutrients and elimination of waste in the body is an essential process for the wellbeing of the cells as well as the whole body. As such, the various processes through which the human controls or regulates the internal environment ...

Homeostasis refers to any self-regulating process by which biological systems attempt to maintain stability despite changes in the external and internal environment (Sturmberg & Martin, 2013). Biological systems interact with each other to maintain a suitable condition of the internal environment for the survival of the living organism. The biological systems of the living organism are in a state of constant change.
The regulation of the systems within a given range of various conditions helps to keep the living organisms alive and healthy. The systems also interact with the external environment in different ways. The conditions of the external environment ...

The hypothesis for the research study was “The connection of p53 activity and p53 Ser18 phosphorylation to metabolic regulation supports a model whereby the mechanism of ATM-mediated physiological regulation of insulin sensitivity may involve p53 activity and ATM-mediated p53 phosphorylation” (Heather, Armata, Golebiowski, Young, Jin Ko, Jason, Kim, and Sluss 3). To test the above hypothesis the metabolic control in mice was compared in presence and absence of a germ line mutation in p53 phosphorylation site Ser18.
These p53 mice shows defects in p53-mediated apoptosis and gene expression (Heather 10), but unlike p53-null mice, p53 mice cultivate tumors lone at ...

Anatomy deals with the study of forms and body structures (both internal and external) along different levels of organization such as molecules, cells, tissues, organs and organ system. These forms and body structures performs a corresponding function which is responsible for the growth and development of an organism. The study that deals “with the patterns and processes through which the body functions in its environment” is known as physiology (Starr, Evers and Starr, 2008). Physiology is essential in understanding how anatomical structures perform individual and group task related to the activities of the body. For instance, one segment of the ...

Chapter I

The stereotypes and micro-aggressions suffered by a Black woman in a toxic workplace leads to deleterious effects. The effects reported here include oppression, shame, and isolation. Internalizing these feelings of isolation systematically caused the body, mind, and spirit to suffer physiologically and psychologically. The overall strategy is termed disconnection; this concept is reinforced by the “power over” (Jordan, 2010) by a dominant group who wantonly exercise shame and isolation to discourage mutually empowerment relationships (Jordan, 2010, p. 105).
This Black woman is me. The terms Black and African American are used interchangeably. It is my preference to identify with the Black ...

Abstract

The uses of radiation revolutionized medicine when experimentation on its potential applications begun. X-Ray technology, discovered by Wilhem Roentgen, is currently used as a common tool for diagnostics; Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie and Pierre Curie dedicated themselves to further investigations in the field, discovering additional radioactive materials (polonium and radium); radiation therapy is a popular treatment for cancer. This paper analyzes the historical background behind these two applications of radiation in the medical field. Moreover, the different types of radiotherapy are described (external-beam radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy). The concept of radiation homeostasis, which is the notion that low-dose ...

Homeostasis is dependent on the precision of the organs and organ system regulations in the body. The nervous system works together with the nervous system to regulate and offer coordination to the activities of almost all other parts of the body. Just like the nervous system, the endocrine system uses chemical known as hormones to communicate with other parts of the body. A hormone molecule is a specific messenger that is synthesized and released by specialized cells known as an endocrine gland. The endocrine glands are ductless with the hormones being released into the blood directly and taken to the ...

Research Question: Does a diet such as low fat and low cholesterol really help lower LDL? Hypothesis: It may or may not. Early research sometimes suggested not eating eggs would help lower cholesterol. This resulted in limits for how many eggs one should eat, if any. Determine if a low fat and low cholesterol diet really works with the study outlined below .
Compare two groups of patients: one group eliminating foods which may alter LDL levels and one which continues on with their usual diet before diagnosis of the high LDL levels. Foods to be considered are eggs, 2% ...

BODY SYSTEMS AND DISEASES GRID

INSTITUTUIONAL AFFILIATION
The purpose of this paper is to identify the major systems of the human body which, include the Nervous System, the Cardiovascular System, the Endocrine System, the Respiratory System, the Musculoskeletal System, and the Lymphatic System. The organs for each specific system will be identified, a brief explanation of each bodily function will be provided, and major diseases afflicting the system will be discussed.

Taylor (n.d.) clarifies that the sensory system comprises of the cerebrum, spinal line, tangible organs, and the majority of the nerves that associate these organs with whatever remains of the body. Together, these ...

Since the 1960s, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness holds the Mr. Olympia contest every year to determine the man with “best physique in the world”. In the 1970s, the Golden Era of bodybuilding, the best body was considered to have a perfect amount of mass, symmetry, aesthetics, and definition. Legendary bodybuilder Steve Reeves influenced these standards. Reeves trained his body so that every muscle was symmetrical and proportionate. His philosophy was that each thigh should measure half the length of the chest, arms and calves should equal in length, and the body should have a small as ...

Almost the inevitable consequence of any conflict is the stress. Its unpleasant symptoms (the irritability, inability to concentrate, and then the feeling of the causeless tiredness, etc.) appear and are instantly visible to the naked eye. The last conflict, which ended for me with the stress, had a quarrel with my parents.

1) alarm reaction, which manifested itself in the urgent mobilization of the defense forces and resources of the body;
2) the phase of the resistance, allowing the body to cope with stress-related impacts;
3) the phase of exhaustion, after too protracted and too intense fighting having ...
