Investigates how the body controls its internal environment. 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 the 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.

"In order to understand homeostasis in a natural setting, this program observes what happens to the body during a marathon race. By monitoring the various physiological responses of one of the runners, we show the many changes and adjustments being made in the body as the race progresses."@en

By monitoring the various physiological responses of one of the runners, we show the many changes and adjustments being made in the body as the race progresses. The data obtained from the runner are used to explain in detail how the body regulates temperature, blood oxygen, blood glucose, water balance, heart rate, breathing rate, and hormone levels. The program provides a complete introduction to the following topics:o Homeostatic mechanisms within the bodyo Regulation of temperatureo Regulation of blood sugaro Feedback systemso Role of hormoneso Water balance(20 minutes)."@en
"This program investigates how the body controls its internal environment. 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. (20 minutes)."@en
"To understnad homeostasis mechanisms we observe what happens to the body during a marathon race. By monitoring the various physiological responses of a runner we can see how the body regulates temperature, blood oxygen, blood glucose, water balance, heart rate, breathing rate and hormone levels."@en
"Homeostatic mechanisms work together to enable our bodies to maintain a constant internal environment. By observing what happens to a body during a marathon race, provides an introduction to the homeostatic mechanisms that regulate temperature, blood oxygen, blood glucose, water balance, heart rate, breathing rate, and hormone levels."@en
"This programme looks at the ways in which the body is able to control its internal environment through a range of homeostatic mechanisms."

"In Homeostasis we observe what happens to the body during a marathon race. By monitoring the various physiological responses of a runner we can see how the body regulates temperature, blood oxygen, blood glucose, water balance, heart rate, breathing rate and hormone levels. Designer babies examines some of the issues raised by the potential uses and misuses of genetic technology. Covers the structure and function of DNA, social, economic and ethical implications of genetic manipulation and related technology, pre-natal screening techniques, genetic abnormalities, artificial insemination and embryo transplants. Each program includes: live action to set the scene, up to date imaging data to show how the human body works and computer graphics revealing what can be seen using imaging technology or surgery."@en
