INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS
![Page 2: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Important variables within the body:blood sugarfluid balancebody temperatureoxygen levelsblood pressurepH
These variables must stay within certain ranges.
Changes in the external environment can cause these variables to change.

Homeostasis:
The process by which a stable internal environment is maintained despite changes in the external environment.

Components of a homeostatic control system:
Component FunctionMonitor detects a change in variable
Co-ordinating centre receives a message from the monitor. directs a response via a regulator.
Regulator carries out the response initiated by the co-ordinating centre

The hypothalamusPart of the brain
Often serves as the co-ordinating centre:Receives messages from monitors
Initiates a hormonal/nervous response

Dynamic equilibriumHomeostasis is also called dynamic equilibrium:
Conditions do fluctuate, but within an acceptable range
![Page 7: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How is dynamic equilibrium maintained?Feedback systems
Negative feedbackPositive feedback

Negative feedbackNegative feedback: Response triggered by changed
conditions serves to reverse the change
E.g., Body temperature increases Skin blood vessels dilate Body temperature decreases

Example: Blood Pressure Regulation
![Page 11: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Positive feedbackPositive feedback: The response triggered by changing
conditions serves to move the variable even further away from its steady state
E.g., uterine contractions are stimulated by oxytocin baby moves towards cervix more oxytocin is released

Thermoregulation
Maintaining body temperature

Body temperatureAverage human body temperature: 37°CCore body temperature is slightly higherInterindividual variation

ThermoregulationThermoregulation: The maintenance of body
temperatures within a range that enables cells to function effectivelyRecall: Enzymes have optimal temperaturesHigh temperatures can denature proteins

Types of temperature stressHeat stressCold stress
![Page 18: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Response to Heat Stress
![Page 19: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Response to Heat StressCo-ordinating centre is the hypothalamus
Responses:Skin blood vessels will dilateSweat glands will produce perspiration
Both responses serve to lower body temperature Return to normal range
![Page 20: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Response to Cold Stress
![Page 21: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Response to Cold StressCo-ordinating centre is the hypothalamus
Responses:Skin blood vessels will constrictSkeletal muscle will contract rapidly (shivering),
increasing metabolismSmooth muscle around hair follicles will contract,
producing goosebumps
Responses serve to raise body temperature Return to normal range
![Page 22: INTRODUCTION TO HOMEOSTASIS. Important variables within the body: blood sugar fluid balance body temperature oxygen levels blood pressure pH These variables.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649e185503460f94b03df3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Prolonged exposure to cold stressMay cause an increase in the rate of metabolismSpecial fat cells called “brown fat”
Particularly important for babies

Hypothermia: Occurs when core body temperature drops below normal range.Usually results in coma, then death

Cold •constriction of blood vessels in skin•hairs on body erect•shivering
•heat is conserved
•heat is generated by increasing metabolism
Heat •dilation of blood vessels in skin•sweating
•heat is released
