What is homeostasis?
Keeping internal conditions controlled within a narrow range.
1 of 7
What must be controlled?
Temperature, blood glucose, water and ion content and levels of waste product.
2 of 7
What are the waste products that have to be removed?
Carbon Dioxide and Urea.
3 of 7
How is Carbon dioxide produced and removed?
Produced = Repiration and Removed = via the lungs when we breathe out.
4 of 7
How is Urea produced and removed?
Produced = In the liver from breakdown of amino acids Removed = kidneys by urine temporarily stored in bladder.

How to water and miner ions enter our body?
When we eat and drink.
6 of 7
What happens if the water or ion content is wrong?
Too much water could move in or out of the cells and damage/destroy them.
