Question

responding to internal stimuli inquiry lab
check for understanding:

1. how did the body attempt to reach homeostasis when cold packs were applied?

the temperature... and the body began...

1. predict what might happen if homeostasis is not reached.

1. how did the body respond to the heat?

the temperature... and the body began...

1. predict what might happen if homeostasis was not reached.

Explanation:

1. When cold packs are applied, the body's temperature drops. It attempts to reach homeostasis by shivering to generate heat.
2. If homeostasis is not reached, body functions can be impaired. For example, enzymes may not work optimally, and organ - systems may start to malfunction.
3. When the body is exposed to heat, the temperature rises. It responds by sweating to cool down through evaporation.
4. If homeostasis is not reached in the case of heat exposure, heat - related illnesses like heat exhaustion or heat stroke can occur, which can be life - threatening.

Answer:

1. dropped; shivering to generate heat
2. Body functions can be impaired, enzymes may not work well, organ - systems may malfunction.
3. rose; sweating to cool down
4. Heat - related illnesses like heat exhaustion or heat stroke can occur.
