Module 8 | Non-infectious disease and disorders
Content 1: Homeostasis
Lesson 1 | Homeostasis
-
construct and interpret negative feedback loops that show homeostasis by using a range of sources, including but not limited to: (ACSBL101, ACSBL110, ACSBL111)
– temperature (ACSBL098)
– glucose
Lesson 2 | Mechanisms to maintain homeostasis
-
investigate the various mechanisms used by organisms to maintain their internal environment within tolerance limits, including:
– trends and patterns in behavioural, structural and physiological adaptations in endotherms that assist in maintaining homeostasis (ACSBL099, ACSBL114)
– internal coordination systems that allow homeostasis to be maintained, including hormones and neural pathways (ACSBL112, ACSBL113, ACSBL114)
– mechanisms in plants that allow water balance to be maintained (ACSBL115)
