Homeostasis

The video explains how the body maintains homeostasis through various mechanisms. Glucose levels are regulated by the liver and pancreas, water balance is maintained by the kidneys, and internal temperature is controlled by adjusting heat loss through the skin, leading to sweating when hot and shivering when cold.

Which organs are primarily responsible for controlling glucose levels in the body?

• Pancreas and kidneys

• Heart and liver

• Liver and pancreas

• Kidneys and liver

What is the main function of the kidneys in the body?

• Producing insulin

• Controlling body temperature

• Maintaining water balance

• Regulating glucose levels

How does the body respond to high temperatures to maintain internal temperature?

• By reducing blood flow

• By increasing heart rate

• By sweating

• By shivering

What happens to the body when it is exposed to cold temperatures?

• It sweats

• It shivers

• It increases glucose production

• It reduces kidney function

Which process helps in heat loss through the skin?

• Breathing

• Sweating

• Digesting

• Shivering
