2. Homeostasis, maintaining a steady-state internal environment, is a characteristic of all living organisms. Choose THREE of the following physiological parameters and for each, describe how homeostasis is maintained in the organism of your choice. Be sure to indicate what animal you have chosen for each parameter. You may use the same animal or different animals for your three descriptions.

* Blood-glucose levels
* Body temperature
* pH of the blood
* Osmotic concentration of the blood
* Neuron resting-membrane potential

Oh, oh, I know!! Pick me, pick me... Oh that's right, I already did my homework.

Why don't you tell us what you think it is and why, and we will help steer you in the right direction. BUT, we cannot do your homework for you.

Well I know what homeostasis is but I'm not sure how to pick a specific animal and try to apply it.

Well if you were going to describe homeostasis of body temperature, would you pick a mosquito or a puppy?

The question says you can use the same animal more than once...

So tell us what you think homeostasis is...
