How do tje nervous and endocrine system respond to an increase in environmental temperature to achieve homeostasis
Answers
Homeostasis is the stable condition of an organism and its internal environment. It is the balance of bodily functions.
Nervous system
The nervous system controls and regulates the parts of the body to maintain homeostasis. A deviation from the normal set point of environmental temperature acts as a stimulus to a receptor. The receptor sends nerve impulses to a regulating center in the brain.
Endocrine system
Hormones regulate the activity of the body cells so the endocrine system plays a significant role in homoestasis. The release of hormones into the blood is controlled by a stimulus. For instance, a change in the environmental temperature may act as a stimulus and cause an increase or decrease in the amount of hormone secreted.
The nervous system and the endocrine system coordinate the functions of the body's systems so they exert the ultimate control over homeostasis. Regulation of body temperature, pH, glucose concentration and blood pressure are examples of how the body maintains homeostasis.
Answer:
Your endocrine system responds by initiating an internal feedback mechanism. In this case, negative feedback counteracts the increase in body temperature and the body begins to sweat more so that you can cool down to normal body temperature.
