Question

Normal limits of the internal environment – blood glucose, pH, blood pressure, body temperature values.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The body has an internal environment which is maintained almost constant by biological mechanisms. The process of maintaining the internal environment constant (within normal range) is called ‘homeostasis’.

There are many factors in the internal environment that are maintained within narrow limits. Some of these factors include:

Temperature
Water and electrolyte concentration
pH of body fluids
Blood glucose level
Blood pressure
Blood and tissue oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
