Human Anatomy & Homeostasis
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Homeostasis is important in nursing because the body mobilizes its fight-or-flight reaction in an attempt to maintain homeostasis. This can result in sweating, breathlessness, rapid heartbeat, shivering, and trembling. The internal equilibrium of the body is the gauge of whether it is functioning properly or not. With homeostasis, the bodyÆs systems are stable and self-perpetuating. Many of the tests that a nurse performs on a patient, such as taking a temperature or a blood pressure, are tests to determine whether the patientÆs body is in homeostasis or in distress. Homeostasis is highly desirable, because it keeps the body functioning as it should be. The body as a homeostatic system maintains its structure and functions by means of:a multiplicity of dynamic equilibriums rigorously controlled by interdependent regulation mechanisms. Such a system reacts to every change in the environment, or to every random disturbance, through a series of modifications of equal size and opposite direction to those th
