Assignment 2

The document is a biology assignment on homeostasis that contains multiple choice and short answer questions. Some of the key points addressed are: 1. Homeostasis is defined as the process of maintaining a stable internal environment. The nervous and endocrine systems work to regulate homeostasis. 2. Examples of homeostatic processes include temperature regulation and controlling blood sugar levels. Sweating, shivering, and blood vessel constriction help regulate temperature. The kidneys, lungs, and skin all play roles in maintaining homeostasis. 3. Homeostasis is essential for health as it keeps the conditions in the body stable despite external changes. Multiple body systems cooperate to regulate important factors like water balance, acid-base balance,
