 Homeostasis – Balancing Glucose

After a meal , the pancreas releases insulin which

converts the glucose into glycogen –
stored in the LIVER.

Glucose in Liver converts some of the

blood fall glycogen back to glucose

Releases into the blood to keep the amount o

f glucose in the blood at same levels.

 Homeostasis in animals
Animals such as cats and dogs have no sweat gland except on sole. How do they maintain homeostasis?
Homeostasis in animals
What about snake? How do they keep warm?

Snakes, being cold-blooded, do not shiver or

put on more fat or fur to remain warm and alive
during colder temperatures like warm-blooded
creatures do.

The sun's warmth plays a large

part in keeping their bodies at the ideal
temperature, as does their ability to slow down
their metabolism and other body systems.

TRANSPIRATION / LIKE SWEATING IN HUMAN

IMPORTANCE
Transpiration helps to absorption
of water and its conduction differe
nt parts of plants.

80% of the cooling effect of a

shade tree is from the evaporative
cooling effects of transpiration.

This benefits both plants and

humans. This causes the plant
cells to cool down and prevents
straight daylight from the damage
the fragile cells.
