2. Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation help the body to

  • Get rid of toxic waste products for example urea and carbon dioxide
  • Keep a constant body temperature
  • Keep the correct levels of salt and water
  • Control the amount of nutrients ie Glucose
  • Take in enough oxygen for respiration

3. A negetive feed back system is...

  • 27 degrees C
  • 42 degrees C

5. Diffusion is....

  • Overall more molecules move away from where they are concentrated to where they are less concentrated
