Homeostasis Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Explore the intricate balance of homeostasis and the crucial role of the kidney with these comprehensive summary notes! Based on the renowned 'Summary WJEC Biology for A2 Level Student Book: 2nd Edition,' these condensed notes provide a focused resource on understanding the intricate mechanisms that maintain internal stability in the body, particularly through the kidney. Delve into the fascinating world of renal physiology and gain a deeper understanding of how the kidney regulates fluid bala...

The type of regulatory systems in the body and how the body uses these systems to maintain homeostasis.

The text discusses the urinary system and fluid balance in the human body. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and regulate fluid balance and electrolyte concentration. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, consisting of a glomerulus and tubules. Urine is formed through filtration, reabsorption, and secretion in the nephron. The kidneys also regulate acid-base balance, extracellular fluid compositi...

Summary BBS1002 - Homeostasis and organ systems

OCR Biology A (A-level) 5.1 Communication and homeostasis including: homeostasis (examples of positive and negative feedback), thermoregulation ectotherms/endotherms and adaptations, cell signalling (neuronal and hormonal signalling). Excretion as homeostatic control: kidney failure via haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, liver structure and adaptations of sinusoids, ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption pathways. Deamination pathway - ornithine cycle, loop of henle.
