Pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disorder in which the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs become narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow through the vessels. As a result, the blood pressure in these arteries -- called pulmonary arteries -- rises far above normal levels.
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms Homeostatic Control Mechanisms are devices for maintaining or restoring homeostasis. They involve virtually all of the bodyâs organs and systems.
Homeostatic control. In the body of an animal conditions such as water concentration, temperature, and glucose concentration must be kept as constant as possible. Control systems that keep such conditions constant are examples of homeostasis; this is the maintenance of constant internal conditions in an organism.
