Across
- 2. animals with variable body temperatures
- 5. neurotransmitter responsible for regulating sweat
- 8. higher solute concentration than surrounding fluid
- 9. regulation of internal body conditions to ensure stability
- 10. responsible for monitoring conditions in the body
- 13. responsible for processing the sensory signals collected from the receptor to determine whether there are any abnormalities or changes to the internal condition
- 15. abnormalities or changes to the internal conditions which stimulate corrective mechanisms to return to homeostasis
- 19. muscles attached to the hair follicles on the skin
- 22. main vehicle for oxygen to get to the body tissue
- 23. particles in blood which help to clot blood
- 24. narrowing of blood vessels
Down
- 1. too little calcium present in the bloodstream
- 3. temperature homeostasis
- 4. higher water concentration than surrounding fluid
- 6. too much calcium present in the bloodstream
- 7. same solute concentration as surrounding fluid
- 11. water homeostasis
- 12. animal which requires a constant body temperature
- 14. used by the immune system to fight diseases
- 16. responsible for reacting to the negative feedback by producing the corrective mechanism to restore normal conditions in your body
- 17. widening of blood vessels
- 18. tells the system to increase abnormal conditions, getting farther from homeostasis
- 20. water going through a water-permeable membrane to make the ratio of solvent to solute even
