In humans, the maintenance of a stable internal temperature is a direct result of 1) detection of and reaction to stimuli in the environment 2) digestion of starches and absorption of protein from the internal environment 3) diffusion of water and excretion of glucose to the external environment 4) transport of atp and locomotion through the environment

Homeostasis in terms of temperature within the human body is achieved by reaction to stimulation from the environment. For example, in cold temperatures our bodies shiver to get warm.

1: the largest region of the brain is the:

4. the structure that conducts nerve impulses to and from the brain and serves as a reflex center for some sensory information without input from the brain is the:

spinal cord

5. the three-layered membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord and literally means membrane is called the:

meninges

6. the cord-like (string-like) structures that carry bio-electrical impulses from one part of the body to another are called

nerves

7. a group of nerve cell bodies that are found outside of the spinal cord and brain are referred to as:

ganglions or ganglia (pl.) “literal meaning knot”

8. the term that means spinal cord inflammation is:

myel/itis
