failure of homeostasis?

Answer 1

Death is the ultimate result.

Regardless which regulation is failed, the equilibrium of the body would be topple badly. Even just one regulation fails, it would cause cellular death.

For example osmoregulation is not regulated, the cells may burst under huge pressure. In the case of pH regulation, the body would be too acidic or too alkaline and biological activities would cease ultimately leading to death. Thermoregulation being faulty would cause the enzymes to denature leading to death once again.

There are some positive feedback that is important such as coagulation of blood. If that is hindered, the body would bleed to death due to the lack of positive feedback.

Many of us thinks homeostasis is only about negative feedback and disregards the positive feedbacks which is also just as crucial.

Answer 2

Homeostasis is when our body tries to maintain our internal envirment due to the changes of our external enviroment. If our body didn't try to maintain the 98.6 degree internal temperature, then we will fry like a pancake in extreme heat, and freeze in extreme cold.

Answer 3

Often sickness and death because of the failture of homeostasis, you can't adapt to maybe the environmental factors.

Answer 4

all sorts of organ failure/damage, ultimately ended with death

Answer 5

meaning your body cannot keep the same internal temperature and function in different environments.

Answer 6

death
