Homeostasis is one of the topics one should be expecting in examinations like IGCSE, GCSE, WASSCE, GCE, NECO, SAT.
Osmoregulation (homeostasis)-in unicellular organism is ensured by the use of contractile vacuole. The main organs involved in homeostasis in multicellular organisms include kidney, liver, skin, ductless glands (hormones) and the brain which has the overall control of the homeostatic process in the body.
The regulation of homeostasis depends on three mechanisms:
1. Receptor 2. Control Centre 3. Effector.
The entire process continuously works to maintain homeostasis regulation.
1. Receptor: the receptor is the sensing component responsible for monitoring and responding to changes in the external or internal environment.
2. Control Centre: The control centre is also known as the integration centre. It receives and processes information from the receptor.
3. Effector: The effector responds to the commands of the control centre. It could either oppose or enhance the stimulus.
Biological systems like those of your body are constantly being pushed away from their balance points. For instance, when you exercise, your muscles increase heat production, nudging your body temperature upward. Similarly, when you drink a glass of fruit juice, your blood glucose goes up. Homeostasis depends on the ability of your body to detect and oppose these changes.
Roles of Pancreas and Liver in Homeostasis.
During a meal, the pancreas will secrete insulin and suppress glucagon, causing the liver to store glucose as glycogen.
Alternatively, when blood sugars are low, the liver can convert glycogen into glucose through a process known as glycogenolysis.
The pancreas controls the concentration of glucose in the body by producing the hormones insulin and glucagon which stimulate the liver. Insulin and glucagon are chemical hormones messengers.

Chemistry Educator | 5+ Years of Experience 🏆 | Expert in International & Local Curricula 🌍 | Nanoengineering Researcher 🇪🇬As a chemistry teacher, I focus on using modern teaching methods that enhance the role of the student as an active element in the educational process. Since chemistry is a logical scientific branch, I use induction and deduction methods, in addition to brainstorming, and I make sure to include dialogue and discussion during lessons.
As a researcher in nanoscience, I seek to develop students' creative and critical analysis skills, which helps them form their own opinions and ideas. I believe in the slogan of Egyptian scientists: “Because every mind makes a difference.”
I also work to motivate students internally by stimulating the spirit of competition through educational competitions, games, oral and written tests, as well as practical experiments. I cannot ignore the fun side of chemistry, which is practical experiments. I make sure to apply these experiments as a researcher, whether through live explanation online or by preparing explanatory videos, whether produced by me or from reliable sources such as YouTube.
