Homeostasis
Across
- 4. The ability to maintain constant internal conditions.
- 6. Dangerously low blood glucose
- 7. A set speed for a car to go at.
- 9. Organisms that depend on their environment for heat and must make physical changes to regulate temperature.
- 11. Stabilizes the internal conditions by reversing a change in a controlled condition. (Reducing a response)
- 12. Evaporation of water from the leaves, stems, and flowers of plants.
- 13. Detects change in environment in conditions (eyes, skin)
- 14. A portion of the brain that regulates temperature in humans.
Down
- 1. Elicits a response from the message received and changes conditions (muscles and glands)
- 2. Chronically high blood glucose.
- 3. Speeds up a physiological response (intensify a response until an endpoint is reached)
- 5. Receives a message and coordinates a response (brain and spinal cord)
- 8. Variation of body temperature of the environment.
- 10. Organisms that generate their own body heat and can endure fluctuations in temperature.
