when its cold our blood must concentrate itself to keep us warm
ReplyDeleteWhen we sweat, the evaporated water on our skin helps keep us cool on hot weather. Our blood contracts during winter, in order to preserve body heat.
ReplyDeletethe brain needs oxygen so it doesant swell
ReplyDeletethe brain needs the right amount of oxygen, so the brain doesn't swell
ReplyDeleteYour body try's to maintain homeostasis by changing your body to fit it's surroundings.It does this by either conserving heat or releasing sweat.Like when your run or work out your body sweats try to cool you down.Another way it maintains homeostasis is that is attempts to prevent mountain sickness with lack of oxygen.This is your body's way of maintaining homeostasis.
ReplyDeleteThe environment plays a role because when in a cold environment your body diminishes blood to conserve heat to keep you warm.Also if your in lack of oxygen your body slows down all processes to conserve the amount of oxygen used
your body changes to keep you balanced with the changing surroundings. such as when its cold your blood heats up or when your hot you sweat to keep you cool from overheating.
ReplyDeletewhen its extremely cold our blood must concentrate itself i our vital organs
ReplyDeletethe brain needs oxygen so it doesn't swell up. Also when we sweat the evaporated water on our skin keeps us cool, our blood contracts in the winter to keep our body heat at the right temperature

ReplyDeleteThe human body is always trying to maintain homeostasis. One body part that does this is the brain. If the brain doesn't have the right amount of oxygen, it swells. If you the brain doesn't have the right amount of oxygen, you also can pass out.
ReplyDeleteThe human body can adapt to oxygen levels that are 1/3 that of sea level. Our bodies do this but it takes awhile. If you were to go into a room with 1/3 the air you normally breathe you would pass out. Our bodies also sweat to help maintain a normal body temp. sweat comes from our pores when we go through some form of exercise.
ReplyDeleteWhen you sweat the evaporated water on your skin keeps you cool. Also, your lungs and brain need oxygen so they don't swell up. You start to move slowly if you don't get enough oxygen.
ReplyDeleteOne way your body maintains homeostasis is by adjusting to the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. As seen in the last video the men inside of the vacuum who gradually adjusted to the lack of oxygen while the scientist who entered pasted out and had to wear oxygen masks to maintain homeostasis as their body's hadn't adjusted yet. That is how your body maintains homeostasis.
ReplyDeleteIf you dont get enough oxygen to your brain, you can pass out. If your acclimatized to the thin air, you will be fine. The brain will swell if you dont get enough oxygen. Sweating is your bodys way of cooling down. When you work out, the sweat cools you down so you dont overheat. -Andrew Wagner
ReplyDeleteYour body sweats to cool your body down when its hot. Also your skin can cause your blood vesicles to dilate. The skin does this to enable increased blood flow. When its cold our blood must concentrate itself in our vital organs. Also when its cold our blood vesicles contract.
ReplyDeleteso the brain doesnt swell if it has the right amount of oxygen. when your surroundings change, your body changes to keep you more balanced. for example. when you are cold your blood concentrates itself to keep you warm.
ReplyDeletewhen the climate drastically changes,the body moves slower. It does this because it is trying to concentrate on adjusting and keeping the body warm or cold.
ReplyDeleteOne way our circulatory system help maintains homeostasis is regulating the flow of blood. When we are too hot, our blood vessels expand. The expansion, or dilatation, of the blood vessels aids cooling another way our body cools is by sweating. The exact opposite occurs when we are too cold. Our blood vessels contract when we are cold in order to conserve energy and heat.
ReplyDeleteThe environment, especially at high altitudes, helps to maintain homeostasis. When climbing a mountain like Everest, your body needs time to adapt to the thinner oxygen above the South Col. To acclimate your body to these lower levels of oxygen, you have to make many short trips up and down the mountains from camp to camp before making your Summit push. If you just tried to immediately tried to go directly above Camp 3, your brain and blood stream will start to shut down due to oxygen deprivation. (Information from the videos and the book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer.
When we sweat, the evaporated water on our skin helps keep us cool on hot weather. Our blood contracts during winter, in order to preserve body heat.If your brain doesn't get enough oxygen it will swell.when its extremely cold our blood must concentrate itself i our vital organs
ReplyDeletedepending on the temperature and weather of the environment that your in your skin will react to maintain homeostasis. your body either sweats or keeps the heat to warm you up on the inside. without oxygen in your brain it will expand and swell. your body wants to prevent lack of oxygen. it also tries to prevent any sickness/illness your being touched with.
ReplyDeleteThe brain will swell if it does not have oxygen. And people will become dizzy and be unable to stand.
ReplyDeletethe brain needs oxygen so it doesn't swell. Your body sweats to cool your body down. Goosebumps help warm up your body whenever you get cold.
ReplyDeleteOur body's are constantly trying to maintain homeostasis. When we get cold our skin contracts or tightens this is a way to hold heat in, and warm us up. Another way we hold heat in is when our hair stand on end, also know as goose bumps. When we get goose bumps our body's are stopping the blood flow and holding in heat. To cool down, we sweat. this allows the blood to flow freely and release heat when we are hot to cool down.
ReplyDeleteThe Environment plays a role in homeostasis because our body reacts to the weather. Our body skin reacts to heat accesses wither its external or internal by sweating. The evaporation of water on our skin is one of the best cooling systems in existence. But when its extremely cold our blood needs to concentrate itself in out vital organs. When it is cold our blood vessels contract and diminish blood flow through our skin. Another way we avoid losing heat is with goose bumps.
ReplyDeleteYour body is trying to maintain homeostasis because it is trying to adapt to its environment. So when you are hot you body is trying to keep you cool and when you are cold your body is trying to stay warm. So when you go to higher altitudes and there isn't enough oxygen your bodies brain starts to "swell" and it's hard to think. An example is when you are climbing a mountain and there is lack of oxygen, your body tries to prevent you from getting sick. And when pilots go to high altitudes they cant think and start to get sick so their body stops them from getting sick.
ReplyDeleteWhen your at high altitudes your body reacts and trying to stay at homeostasis. When your at high altitude it can effect your brain and lugs.It can be vary deadly if you don't take your time and let your body adjust to your new environment it can also lead to death if your not careful.Another way your body reacts to the environment is you get goosebumps that's when your body is trying to shield you from the cold.
ReplyDeletewhen its cold our blood vessels contract and diminish blood flow through our skin this prevents heat loss which could affect the body's correct functioning
ReplyDeleteWhen there are some parts of your body that are cold and some that are hot, for example sitting by a fire. You get cold chills down your back and thats your body trying to find homeostasis. Losing oxygen in anyway, such as climbing Everest, could cause this. A rapid change in temperature and rapid change in oxygen thickness can cause blood vessels to pop. Just like if you jump from a hottub to a pool in 3 seconds. Thats because your body needs to acclimatize to adjust to it.
ReplyDeleteWhen undergoing low oxygen your body is trying to maintain homeostasis because its attempting to adapt to the environment. When you are cold your body produces goose bumps because its releasing heat. Also when you have a lack of oxygen your body tries to keep you from becoming sick. When that happens you become uncoordinated.
ReplyDeleteYour body at all times must contain homeostasis. Our body needs air to function correctly, like when people climb Mt. Everest they need to acclimatize.When you get hot, your body cools you down. When you get cold, your body warms you up. Our bodies are amazing and know how to take care of itself.
ReplyDeleteWhen we sweat it helps our body cool off. The lack of oxygen at a high altitude can cause your brain and lungs to swell. First signs on low oxygen starts happening in the brain. If you acclimatize to the certain altitude you can start doing things normally, if you just jump right into a certain altitude you will have trouble. Your body maintains homeostasis by adjusting the oxygen levels at certain altitudes.

mountain sickness mainly affects the lungs and the brain. You get mountain sickness when your climbing a mountain and not enough oxygen gets to your body, causing the brain to swell
ReplyDeleteWhen our blood vessels get cold they contract and diminish blood flow through our skin. It prevents heat loss, and that could affect our body's function.
ReplyDeleteWhen our blood vessels get cold they contract and diminish flow through our skin. It prevents heat loss, and that could affect our body's function. I also learned that mountain sickness can mainly affect your lungs and your brain. How you get mountain sickness is when not enough oxygen get to your brain and you cant function properly. Your body also maintains homeostasis by adjusting the oxygen levels at certain altitudes.
DeleteYour body try's to fine homeostasis when it it is hot or cold. When it's cold your body try's to warm you up and when it's hot your body try's to cool you down.
ReplyDeleteWhen its extremely cold out our blood concentrates itself into vital organs, the blood also contracts to maintain heat. the lungs and brain swell when the air is too dense, you become slower the lower the air gets. the less oxygen for your lungs, the dizzier and less coordinated you get. if the air gradually decreases over time your body is able to used to it.
ReplyDeleteIn 1920's a group of navy seals got tested in a facility that theoretically you do not need a gas mask to climb mount Everest. they were put in a concealed chamber and the air was decreasing very slowly. Eventuality the air was equivalent to that on mount Everest. to prove this they brought in a subject who did an excise. Within 2 minutes they passed out.but the people who were in there before were fine.
ReplyDeleteYour environment can play a huge role with homeostasis in many ways. If your in a very cold spot the blood pressure in your body isn't going to run correctly. If I was near a volcano the front of me is very warm. But the back of me is trying to find homeostasis. My back would feel colder than the front of me. When part of my body is warm and the other is cold the body is trying to find homeostasis. If I was climbing a mountain and there isn't lots of oxygen the blood working to get air is affected by the cold. The body has to get used to the cold so it doesn't get acute mountain sickness.
ReplyDeleteOur bodies are trying to maintain homeostasis.As it try's to adjust to the new climate and changes in environment and air pressure. In the summer when its extremely hot out, your body is creating sweat to keep you cool and regulate your body temperature. In the winter when its cold out your body is producing heat to maintain homeostasis as well as try to keep your body temperature normal. Your body reacts differently to certain environments and changes in air. For example when he was climbing Mount Everest he was moving alot slower than it would if you were at sea level.
ReplyDeleteOur bodies try to maintain homeostasis and different climates. The higher the air pressure the lower the oxygen you have in your body and you start to have a lack of oxygen to be able to breathe. In the winter your body is trying to keep you stay warm and in the heat, summer your body is trying to keep u cool. The higher you go up on mountains or for pilots They have to maintain their oxygen so their body wont get sick. When it is really hot out your body creates sweat that helps cool you down, that's its way of cooling down your body.
ReplyDeleteThe environment plays a role in homeostasis, because we as human beings have the ability to cool off with sweat on hot days.It is said that it is the best way to cool off. Our body can also warm our self from our blood flow in the winter or a cold environment. Another unique thing about the human body is that we can adapt to places such as the heat cold or even places with low oxygen. Most people need to wear oxygen masks when climbing mount Everest.
ReplyDeleteYour body is trying to maintain homeostasis because it is trying to adapt to its environment. Say if your in Canada and its 30 degrees your body will try and warm up to maintain homeostasis in your body. Also if your in Chile and its 95 degrees your body will cool down to maintain body temp. Also if your climbing to the top of a tall mountain your body would need more oxygen are your brain would start to swell and you would die.
ReplyDeleteThe brain and lungs needs oxygen so it doesnt swell. Lack of oxygen can lead to serious sickness, known as mountain sickness. The first signs of low oxygen are felt in the brain. Your body tries to prevent you from getting sick. Your body sweats to cool down your body. You get goosebumps to help warm up your body whenever your cold.

when you get to high attitudes it affects the brain just like mountain sickness, you get uncoordinated. the brain doesnt work correctly. its need oxygen to function correctly.
ReplyDeleteWhen your body is under going temperature problems it trys to fix it. One thing the body does is when its cold your blood vessels contract witch causes heat loss. Also your body will try and fix the unbalanced oxygen level. It does this by pulling out the oxygen from the air. you can learn to not live with as much oxygen. Your brain can get damaged without oxegen you can feel dizzy light headed pass out and even die
ReplyDeleteYour body try's to maintain homeostasis by getting hot when your in a warm climate and getting cold when your in a cold climate. when you are climbing a high mountain its hard because your lungs have not got use to the climax yet. Also when you get higher in the air the air presser changes the way you think about things. when you have a change in air presser it changes the way you act and can do physical activity.
ReplyDeletethe body needs time to adjust to specific environments to be able to maintain homeostasis like to make you warmer when its cold out and vice verse. by climbing the mountain slowly your giving yourself enough time to adapt and maintain homeostasis. like how pilots deal with fast hanging air pressures we see how this can effect the way we think and even make us lose consciousness like the pilot in training did after going straight from pure air to the limited amount of oxygen. like in the experiment the Americans conducted proving it was possible to limb mount Everest without oxygen.
ReplyDeleteOur body is trying to maintain homeostasis by trying to adapt to the environment we are in. Our body reacts to heat excesses, weather external or internal by sweating. So, when we are working out and our body gets hot, our body produces sweat in order to try to cool our bodies down. The environment plays a role in maintaining homeostasis because in cold weather our skin also causes blood vessels to dilate enabling increased blood flow and aiding cooling
ReplyDeleteyour body is use to the altitude we are at now so when you enter a different altitude your body shuts down. when entering a different altitude you have to take precautions and you have to do it slowly. you have to train your body to the altitude.
ReplyDeleteWhen the climate changes,the body moves slower. It does this because its trying to concentrate on adjusting and keeping the body warm and cold.
ReplyDeleteAs climate increases and decreases, your body will become ill, you will find yourself light headed, you can loose consciousness due to lack of oxygen. All of these symptoms can occur when your climate increases. Your body due to the lack of oxygen can go out of its normal form which is homeostasis will cause your body's normal functions not to function properly.
ReplyDeletewhen the climate changes homeostasis changes the way you do things.like when its cold you will breathe different. than when
ReplyDeleteits hot. when you do physical activates you ill breathe different. than when you are sitting doing nothing.
When the climate changes,the body moves slower. It does this because its trying to concentrate on adjusting and keeping the body warm and cold. The body needs time to adjust to specific environments to be able to maintain homeostasis like to make you warmer when its cold out its the same procedure with warmer. If your body does not adjust to the environment the body will shut down. Your skin reacts to heat excessive whether internal or external by sweating. You will swell if you don't get the oxygen you need to survive.
ReplyDeleteWhen you go to high or to far down the oxygen is thinner so you can't breath as good. Also you brain needs oxygen so if you don't get enough you could die. Also your body will function slower with less oxygen. So your body tries to keep it going by shrinking the blood vessels.
ReplyDeleteYour body is trying to maintain homeostasis by temperature and weather. Skin reacts to heat either inside or outside of your body by sweating. The best cooling system is the evaporation of water on your skin. Another way is by goosebumps. When its cold, the blood vessels stop heat loss, get smaller and weaker through the blood flow in the skin. This could put our lives at risk.
ReplyDeleteOur skin reacts to heat excesses by sweating. Skin an also cause blood enabling increase blood flow and aid cooling. The lack of oxygen causes lung and brains to swell. The first signs of low oxygen starts in the brain. When you are used to the air pressure at high altitudes you preform normally then to someone that just took off their oxygen mask at that high of an altitude.
ReplyDeleteWhen the body doesn't get enough oxygen at high altitudes it may cause death! Our skin can cause blood vessels to dilate. When it is extremly cold our blood vessels contract. The brain is where you first notice you have a low oxygen level. When you are at high altitudes you can damage your lungs and or brain.
