- Controlling Body Temperature
- Body Warms up
- 3. Effectors for example sweat glands produce a responce
- 2. The hypothalamus acts as the processing centre- it recieves information from the temperature receptors and triggers the effectors automatically
- 1. Temperature receptors detect that the core body temperature is too high
- Body Cools Down
- 1. Temperature receptors detect that core body temperature is too low
- 2. The hypothalamus acts as a processing center- it receives information the temperature receptors and triggers the effectors automatically
- 3. Effectors for example muscles produce a responce
- How does it alter temperature
- Different responces are produced by effectors to counteract an increase or decrease in body temperature
- The body heats up
- 1. Blood vessels close to the skins surface get bigger in diameter- this is called vasodilation. This means that more blood gets to the surface of the skin. The warm blood then loses more of its heat to the surroundings
- 2. Your sweat glands produce more sweat- when the water in sweat evaporates heat is used, which cools the body. If you sweat a lot, your core body temperature will increase
- The body cools down
- 1. Blood vessels close to the skin surface get smaller in diameter-called vasoconstriction. This means that less blood gets to the surface of the skin, which stops the blood loosing as much to the surroundings
- You shiver- your muscles contract rapidly. This increases the rate of respiration and warms the tissue surrounding the muscles
- Body Warms up
- Controlling Blood Sugar
- Insulin- controls blood sugar level
- 1. Eating foods hat are high in simple sugars cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly
- 2. This is because simple sugars are digested and absorbed into your blood really quickly
- 3, The level of sugar in your blood needs to be kept steady
- 4. When the blood sugar level gets too high, the pancreas releases insulin which causes sugar to be removed from teh blood
- Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes
- 1. Type 1 diabetes is where the pencreas stops producing insulin
- 2. This means that the blood sugar level of a person suffering from type 1 diabetes can rise to a dangerous level
- 3. It is controlled by insulin therapu- this usually involves injecting insulin into the blood
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes is sometimes called late onset diabetes
- This type of diabetes occurs when the body no longer responds to its own insulin, or it does not make enough insulin
- It can be controlled by exercising and eating a carefully controlled diet
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Insulin- controls blood sugar level
