Lab Report
Homeostatic Control: How does
the human body keep itself in
balance?
This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this
simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills. Include
enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to someone who
understands the concepts but has not participated in the simulation. Use
correct scientific terminology whenever applicable.
Sections
1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis
2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic
3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation
4. Explain any obtained results
5. Discuss the conclusions and implications
, 1. Describe the overall objective and make a
hypothesis.
What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis.
Recall that the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a
prediction about an event that has not yet occurred.
Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as
shown in the example image below).
The goal of this lab is to examine how homeostasis keeps the body stable in the
face of several stimuli. The control of body temperature and the physiological
phases required to sustain it serve as a prime illustration of this. The hypothesis
of the experiment was that in order to preserve equilibrium, the body will react
to inputs by reversing any changes. In particular, I anticipate that physical
activity will increase heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The body
will react by initiating processes like sweating to eliminate heat and return to
balance. This idea is based on my personal observations of how my body
responds to comparable circumstances in day-to-day living.
