Difference between Homeostasis and Hypothermia

Homeostasis vs. Hypothermia

Homeostasis is the tendency of organisms to auto-regulate and maintain their internal environment in a stable state. Hypothermia is reduced body temperature that happens when a body dissipates more heat than it absorbs.

Similarities between Homeostasis and Hypothermia

Homeostasis and Hypothermia have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenaline, Blood pressure, Cell membrane, Central nervous system, Glucose, Human body temperature, Hyperglycemia, Hypertension, Hyperthermia, Hyperventilation, Hypoglycemia, Hypothalamus, Hypothermia, Insulin, Metabolism, Perspiration, Respiratory rate, Shivering, Sympathetic nervous system, Tachycardia, Thermoregulation, Vasoconstriction, Vasodilation.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Human body temperature

Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is the typical temperature range found in humans.

Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (also spelled hyperglycaemia or hyperglycæmia) is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Homeostasis and Hypertension · Hypertension and Hypothermia · See more »

Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates.

Hyperventilation

Hyperventilation (a.k.a. overbreathing) occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates more carbon dioxide than the body can produce.

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, is when blood sugar decreases to below normal levels.

Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus(from Greek ὑπό, "under" and θάλαμος, thalamus) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia is reduced body temperature that happens when a body dissipates more heat than it absorbs.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Metabolism

Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms.

Perspiration

Perspiration, also known as sweating, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.

Respiratory rate

The respiratory rate is the rate at which breathing occurs.

Shivering

Shivering (also called shuddering) is a bodily function in response to cold in warm-blooded animals.

Sympathetic nervous system

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the other being the parasympathetic nervous system.

Tachycardia

Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate.

Thermoregulation

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different.

Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.

Vasodilation

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels.

Homeostasis and Hypothermia Comparison

Homeostasis has 259 relations, while Hypothermia has 138. As they have in common 23, the Jaccard index is 5.79% = 23 / (259 + 138).
