The steady state of the Earth's biosphere is compared to that of the human body. An automated greenhouse and a computerized inventory system demonstrate how negative feedback loops use detection and response to maintain their own balanced states. The regulation of body temperature in response to extreme heat and cold is explored both in a sauna and on a mountain slope. The roles of the pancreas and liver in controlling blood glucose levels are described. And the control of water concentration at the cellular level and waste filtration via the kidneys are explained. The impact of alcohol consumption on temperature regulation and water management is also considered."--Container. 538 $a DVD. 650 0 $a Homeostasis. 650 0 $a Adaptation (Physiology) $x Endocrine aspects. 650 0 $a Cardiopulmonary system. 650 0 $a Blood $x Circulation. 700 1 $a Fraser, Liz. 700 1 $a Woods, Jon. 710 2 $a Films for the Humanities (Firm) 939 $a 5823791 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9E672302B0F11DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JID 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
