Describe the hypermetabolic response and its impact on the body's homeostasis
The hypermetabolic response is a self-protective response to physical stress. The body signals the endocrine system. Energy output is increased. Catabolism occurs, which is the rapid breakdown of energy reserves to meet the demand of the stress. The catabolism pulls reserves that are needed for wound healing and tissue maintenance. Proteins, fats, and minerals are lost. When the stressful condition includes hemorrhage and vomiting, the loss is compounded. ?
