Document Summary
How body adapts to changes in external and internal environment. Some of bernard"s discoveries: fat, glucose, skin temperature is controlled by mechanism distant from skin, which is the brain, curare, muscle relaxation, oxygen to haemoglobin. Each compartment is linked by circulatory, nervous, & endocrine system. Comprise of different salt, sugar, & protein level. How the body balances the above components between these compartments. Results in changes in salt balance, which affects internal and external compartments. Homeostasis failure may result in cancer: approach. Indicate each gene encodes at least 2 times to protein. Multi-disciplinary (top to down, down to top: hypothesis (assume) Feeling is subjective, not a testable hypothesis: experimental design. As you move down the chart, the method becomes more expensive and timely. More practical and applicable, such as medical research and clinical trial. Summer and winter difference: number of animals. A greater number, 10 over 3 birds to ensure statistical variability: control food intake.
