نص القصة المصورة
- One morning in Marcelo's household...
- Hey honey! Good morning!
- NOTICE!
- Good morning, mommy!
-
- I received a notice from our electricity supplier that there will be a power interruption today at exactly 1 PM.
- It'll be okay honey! Just play with Mocha for now.
- NOTICE!
- Okay..
- WHAT?! But mommy how am I going to play video games?
- After a few hours...
- MOMMYYY!! HUHUHU
- It's so hot! I'm so sticky and sweaty!
- Come! Let's sit on the couch. I'll tell you something interesting to ease your boredom.
- What happened?
- Uhm.. Yes, mommy! Why is that?
- Have you ever wondered why you sweat when it's hot?
-
- OOOHHH!!
- BZZTT~ting!!
- Oh! Good question honey! When it's too cold, our body shivers. The muscle contractions of shivering can generate heat and your blood vessels will constrict which helps you conserve heat because it makes harder for the heat to escape. So you body temperature will increase.
- So you said mommy that our body reacts to the change of temperature to maintain homeostasis. How about when it's too cold? How to we maintain homeostasis?
- After an hour...
- BRRRRRR~~~
- MOMMY! I'M SHIVERING! I THINK IT'S MY BODY'S RESPONSE TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS!
- Humans need to maintain a stable internal environment to survive which is called HOMEOSTASIS. An example of that is sweating. Our body reacts to the change of temperature. That is why when the temperature is hot, your sweat glands produce sweat that helps your body to cool down to maintain homeostasis.
- Can I turn the aircon on, mommy?
- OHH! The power is back!
- Sure, honey!
- BRRRRRR~~~
- HAHAHA! YOU'RE RIGHT HONEY!
-
- The End...
