WS 1.3 Evaluate methods of treatment bearing in mind the benefits and risks associated with the treatment. 4.3.1.4 Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal conditions of a cell or organism to maintain optimum conditions for function in response to internal and external changes. Homeostasis is important because it maintains optimal conditions for enzyme action and all cell functions. Control of blood glucose concentration, control of body temperature and control of water levels in the human body are examples of homeostasis. An organism maintains homeostasis by monitoring its internal conditions and responding appropriately Explain what homeostasis is and why it is important. Describe examples of conditions that need to be controlled. Describe the of the nervous system and the endocrine system in homeostasis. Describe the main components of a control system and their functions. 1 Discussion starters: ‘What happen if…’ eg ‘you didn’t drink enough water, ate too many sweets.’ Use examples of diseases that can be controlled, eg diabetes, dehydration, gout. Draw a flow diagram to show the main components of a control system and with the function of each component. Colour code and annotate given diagrams of body with functions related to homeostasis. Students make a model to demonstrate maintaining equilibrium, eg a mobile with suspended figures which can be moved to balance the arms. Research and discuss: What is the role of the brain in homeostasis? What is the temperature of your skin? organs and organ systems are involved in homeostasis?
