Question 1
What are the six (6) main human life processes?
Answer: 
Six main human life processes are movement, respiration, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition.
Question 2
Part 1:  In your own words, write 4-5 sentences defining the concept of homeostasis. Your response should include a brief description of the three components involved in homeostatic regulation.
Ans: Homeostasis is an state of balance, or equilibrium. It refers to body’s attempt to maintain a constant and balanced internal environment. Alteration of physiological systems in the human body is called homeostatic regulation. It involves three  (1) the receptor, (2) the control center, and (3) the effector.
The receptor receives information from the environment. The control center, which is also known as integration center receives information from the receptor and processes it. The effector responds to the control center by increasing or decreasing the stimulus. This process continues unless final balance is restored. 
 
Part 2: Write 2-3 paragraphs explaining the link between homeostatic imbalance and diabetes.
Ans: Diabetes is caused by excess blood glucose levels, which happens due to failed homeostasis. Ideally homeostasis prevent this imbalance from happening. However, in few people, homeostasis mechanism do not work properly or blood glucose is too high to be managed in an effective manner. In such cases, medical intervention is required to restore homeostasis and prevent permanent organ damage.
Normal homeostasis is responsible for maintaining normal and constant blood glucose levels throughout the day, even during fasting. During fasting period, there is slight reduction in blood glucose levels. Due to insulin response, cells convert excess glucose into glycogen and prevents it from interfering with normal metabolism.  Insulin is secreted to prevent hyperglycemia, which might arise due to this. Another hormone, which is known as glucagon is secreted and performs the opposite function of insulin, thereby converting glycogen to glucose and new glucose production (called gluconeogenesis) which increases blood sugar. This negative feedback, thus, controls blood sugar homeostasis.
Those who have type 1 diabetes do not produce insulin which often leads to destruction of the insulin producing cells by the human body (autoimmunity). However, those with type 2 diabetes have high glucose levels responsible for insulin resistance.  
Question 3
In your own words, write 4-5 sentences describing the process of body temperature regulation, with reference to homeostasis.
Ans: Thermoregulation is body’s mechanism of maintaining of a particular body temperature. 
The core body temperature is set according to thermoregulatory centre of the hypothalamus. This center has a group of neurons in preoptic area, which acts as a thermostat. The hypothalamus can receive two kinds of signals. The one from peripheral nerve receptors relates to external warmness or coldness. Another type of receptors is for measuring temperature of the blood around the hypothalamus.
With changes in blood temperature, neurons in the preoptic area increase or decrease the production of impulses (respectively) leading to regulation of normal body temperature. Three components namely receptor (skin and hypothalamus), control centre (brain), and effector in body temperature.
When there is increase in body temperature, the receptors in the skin and the hypothalamus sense this change, triggering a command from the control centre. After this command, an effector comes into play thereby increasing sweating, vasodilation, and reducing metabolic rate, which further decreases the body temperature.
Question 4
Part 1: What are the four (4) main types of tissue found in the human body?
Ans: 4 basic types of tissue are connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. 
Part 2: In your own words, write 2-3 sentences about each type of tissue, including its location and function.
Ans: Epithelial tissue is groups of cells that covers the exterior surfaces of the body such as skin, line internal cavities and passageways, and form certain glands. Eg: skin.
Connective tissue, as its name implies, binds the cells and organs of the body together. Eg:
