6. Body regulation.Homeostasis and adaptation to the environment.pptcongresarad2022
The document discusses the two major systems that control and coordinate functions within the body - the nervous system and the endocrine system.
The nervous system conveys fast electrical signals along neurons to specific target tissues, while the endocrine system secretes hormones into the bloodstream to produce slower but longer-lasting responses. These two systems work together to maintain homeostasis through various reflex pathways, using both negative and positive feedback loops. Negative feedback acts to return the body to its normal set point, while positive feedback intensifies a response over a short period of time, such as during childbirth. Homeostasis allows the body to adapt to changes in the external environment through both short-term acclimatization and long-term genetic adaptation.
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body. The body achieves homeostasis through negative feedback mechanisms that regulate physiological variables like core temperature, pH, blood glucose, and blood pressure when they deviate from their set points. A homeostatic control system consists of receptors that monitor the variable, a control center that establishes the set point, and effectors that adjust the variable back toward the set point through negative feedback. Examples provided demonstrate how negative feedback regulates body temperature through sweat glands and antidiuretic hormone secretion, while positive feedback increases oxytocin secretion during childbirth.
Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable and constant condition. It involves various mechanisms to regulate key variables such as temperature, fluid balance, and pH levels. Homeostatic control systems use negative feedback loops to detect changes and counteract them to return conditions back to normal. Positive feedback mechanisms can also be involved to accelerate necessary responses like clotting, but these are tightly regulated to avoid harm. Multiple organ systems work in coordination through neural and hormonal signaling to maintain homeostasis.
The document discusses homeostasis, which refers to maintaining a constant internal environment in the body. This internal environment is the extracellular fluid that circulates in the blood and interstitial fluid between cells. Several body systems work together to maintain homeostasis and keep pH, temperature, nutrient/oxygen levels, water/electrolyte balance, and hormones within normal ranges. The homeostatic system uses sensors, control centers, effectors, and feedback loops (negative and positive) to detect deviations from normal levels and correct them, helping regulate various body systems and functions.
Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions such as temperature and blood sugar levels. It is regulated through feedback mechanisms - primarily negative feedback loops that work to reduce the effect of a stimulus and return the body to its set point. Key components of homeostasis include receptors that detect changes, a control center that receives this information and communicates messages, and effectors that respond to bring the condition back into the normal range. Examples provided include regulation of blood pressure and temperature through negative feedback as well as the positive feedback loop involved in blood clotting.
This document discusses homeostasis and control systems in the body. It defines homeostasis as the maintenance of nearly constant internal conditions and lists factors that are homeostatically regulated, including temperature, nutrient levels, and pH. It describes three main types of control systems: negative feedback, which opposes deviations from the set point; positive feedback, which amplifies changes; and feed-forward control, which anticipates changes. Negative feedback is the most common and acts through sensors, integrators and effectors to detect changes and restore the controlled variable to normal. Disruptions in homeostasis can lead to illness or death.
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body. It is achieved through homeostatic mechanisms that regulate factors like temperature, pH, and electrolyte concentrations. Any deviation from normal ranges can affect enzyme function and lead to death. Homeostasis involves coordinated responses from organs like the lungs, gut, liver, and kidneys as well as the endocrine and nervous systems. Negative feedback mechanisms help stabilize conditions that rise or fall outside normal levels through corrective responses that oppose the initial change. Examples include insulin regulation of blood glucose and baroreceptor control of blood pressure. Positive feedback mechanisms can also be useful in limited contexts like blood clotting and childbirth but generally promote instability.

The document discusses homeostasis and how the body maintains internal balance. It defines homeostasis as the stable internal environment of the body. It describes how homeostasis is achieved through negative feedback loops. Negative feedback loops work to reduce any deviations from the normal set point. For example, if body temperature rises, the body engages mechanisms like sweating to cool down and return to the normal temperature. The document also mentions positive feedback loops help amplify necessary responses, like increased milk production when a baby suckles. Overall, the body uses feedback mechanisms and interactions between organ systems to constantly monitor and adjust internal conditions to maintain homeostasis.

This document discusses homeostasis and the systems involved in maintaining homeostasis. It defines homeostasis as the maintenance of nearly constant internal conditions despite changes in the external environment. The key systems that help regulate homeostasis include the respiratory, gastrointestinal, excretory, nervous, and endocrine systems. Feedback mechanisms, including negative and positive feedback loops, allow these systems to sense changes in parameters like temperature, pH, electrolyte concentrations, and hormones to activate responses to correct deviations from normal ranges. Negative feedback loops work to return the stimulus and response in opposite directions, while positive feedback triggers further increases in a variable.
The document discusses homeostasis and its importance in maintaining stable internal conditions in living organisms. It defines homeostasis as the state of steady internal conditions maintained by living systems. Key points include:
- Homeostasis involves negative feedback mechanisms that work to counteract stimuli and maintain equilibrium. It regulates variables like body temperature, pH, blood sugar levels, etc.
- The skin provides an example of homeostasis in action, with receptors detecting temperature changes and the brain signaling sweat glands and blood vessels to cool the body.
- Factors like genetics, diet, and toxins can influence homeostasis. Its breakdown can cause illness, while its importance lies in allowing organisms to function despite environmental changes.
Homeostasis refers to the condition in which the internal environment of the body remains relatively constant despite changes in the external environment. Examples of homeostasis include maintenance of body temperature and blood glucose levels. Homeostasis is achieved through negative or positive feedback mechanisms. Negative feedback mechanisms shut off or decrease the original stimulus to reduce its intensity and reestablish homeostasis, like a thermostat. Positive feedback increases the original stimulus, such as in blood clotting. Homeostatic mechanisms involve sensors that detect changes, control centers that receive information and send messages, and effectors that receive messages and produce responses to reestablish homeostasis.
Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions even as external conditions change. It is achieved through negative or positive feedback mechanisms. Negative feedback acts to shut off or reduce the stimulus causing imbalance, like a thermostat regulating room temperature. Positive feedback intensifies the original stimulus to push the variable further, seen in blood clotting and childbirth. Key components of homeostatic systems are sensors that detect stress, a control center that receives this information and sends messages, and effectors that respond to messages to reestablish homeostasis. Examples provided are temperature regulation through sweating and blood sugar regulation through insulin release.
Homeostasis refers to the condition in which the internal environment of the body remains relatively constant despite changes in the external environment.

Homeostasis refers to maintaining internal balance, and feedback mechanisms are the involuntary chemical processes that bring the body back to its normal state when something causes internal changes. There are two main types of feedback mechanisms: negative feedback mechanisms return the body to its normal state, like shivering and sweating to regulate temperature and insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Positive feedback mechanisms cause more change to happen, though few homeostatic responses use this type, such as oxytocin causing stronger contractions during childbirth to help deliver the baby.
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of relatively constant internal conditions in the body despite changes in the external environment. There are three main types of regulation that work together to achieve homeostasis: chemical/hormonal regulation, nervous regulation, and autoregulation of tissues and organs. Homeostatic mechanisms use either negative or positive feedback loops. Negative feedback loops work to reduce any imbalance, while positive feedback loops intensify an initial stimulus over a short period of time, such as during childbirth.
This document provides an overview and introduction to anatomy and physiology II. It discusses key topics that will be covered such as homeostasis, feedback loops, the endocrine system, hormones, and specific endocrine glands and hormones including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and others. The relationship between the nervous and endocrine systems is also examined.
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of stable internal conditions essential for survival. Key aspects include concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste, pH levels, electrolyte and salt levels, and temperature regulation. The body has two fluid transport systems - blood circulation and exchange between blood vessels and tissues.
The nervous and endocrine systems control bodily functions and maintain homeostasis. The nervous system controls rapid responses while the endocrine system regulates metabolism via hormones. Negative feedback loops reverse stimuli to maintain balance, like temperature increasing exercise and triggering cooling. Positive feedback intensifies stimuli, like uterine stretching intensifying contractions during childbirth. Overall, feedback systems allow the body to precisely balance its internal environment.
Homeostasis, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, and excretion were discussed. Homeostasis involves sensors, effectors, and negative feedback to maintain steady internal conditions. Thermoregulation uses sweating, vasoconstriction/vasodilation, and shivering to control temperature. Osmoregulation relies on ADH, aldosterone, and ANH to regulate water and salt levels. Excretion eliminates nitrogenous and salt wastes via glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and secretion in the kidney nephron. Deterioration of excretion can cause kidney failure, gout, or kidney stones.

Regulatory mechanisms have 4 essential features. Name them and give one example of each
from 2 of the following: drinking, feeding, sleep, circadian rhythms and temperature regulation
Solution
Regulatory mechanisms have 4 essential features:
1. The internal system variable to be regulated (characteristic to be regulated)
2. An optimal value of set point
3. A detector to monitor the variable
4. homoeostatic correctional mechanism
Positive feedback mechanism is defined as the output response produced by the activity of input
signal trough a specific amount of stimulus on the organ during the process of homeostasis.
Positive feedback in isolation is not sufficient to maintain homeostasis because of set point
alterations triggered by the stimulus. Sometimes, if the effect is not going to produce in time
when the stimulus arrived to the organ, homeostasis cannot be reached as it may trigger harmful
effects. This is due to incapability of the organ to maintain the adequate direction of a given
stimulus result in severe acceleration of its effect sometimes finally disequilibrium in
homeostasis. Therefore, homeostasis can be better achieved by negative feedback loop.
1. Temperature regulation- hypothalamus:
Fever mechanism: Initially pyrogens produced by the microbial species either bacteria or viruses
or internal arachidonic acid metabolites such as prostaglandins and prostacyclins promote a
raised \"set point\" on hypothalamus ((detector to monitor the temperature variable) in the brain
followed by peripheral vasoconstriction associated with active generation of heat finally raise in
ambient temperature (detector to monitor the variable). This vasoconstriction (before increasing
temperature of the body) is going to enable reduction of heat loss via skin and makes person to
feel cold.
2. Circadian rhythms:
Circadian rhythms and SCN: Suprachaismatic nuclei (SCN) that is receives inputs from retinas
of the eyes and maintains equilibrium with the daily circadian rhythms. These SCN often
produce neuronal impulses of circadian rhythms. It has clearly observed in hamster due to
increase in circadian periods before surgery procedure and also increased in after surgery
procedure but decreased in t hamster. Thereby it is concluded that SCN controls these rhythms
via feedback loops and via hormones. Even sometimes after removal from brain, SCN produces
impulses. There are “a few other components” outside the SCN that profoundly exhibit circadian
patterns are pituitary body and pineal body in the brain.
Feedback mechanism involves the following events: Cells regulate their metabolic activity
through positive & negative feedback mechanisms in which \"mainly enzymatic protein
synthesis\" mediates regulation of cell metabolic activity. Negative feedback mechanism induce
\"constant\".
The document describes a homeostasis experiment where a test subject underwent changes to maintain optimal homeostatic conditions. Key measurements like skin color, perspiration, body temperature, breathing rate, and heart rate were monitored during exercise. The findings show how these indicators change as part of the body's negative and positive feedback loops to regulate homeostasis during increased activity.

INTRODUCTION
All different bodily cells work together for proper functioning.
Maintaining a constant internal environment – by providing the cells with what they need to survive (oxygen, nutrients, and removal of waste) – is necessary for the well-being of individual cells and of the entire body.
The many processes by which the body controls its internal environment are collectively called homeostasis.
Homeostasis
The tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment is called homeostasis.
Simply, homeostasis refers to the body or cells’ internal:
Stability
Balance
Equilibrium
EXAMPLES
Body’s Temperature
35o - 41.7oc
Average: 37oc
Stomach’s pH
Acidic
Concentration of various ions and molecules
i.e.: glucose, Na/Cl
IMPORTANCE
Required to maintain a stable internal environment
By constant adjustments - as conditions change inside and outside of the cell.
Makes the maintenance of homeostasis, a complementary activity of body and an important characteristic of living things.
Adjustment of systems within a cell is called HOMEOSTATIC REGULATION.
Must be made continuously – because the internal and external environments of a cell are changing continuously
Adjusted to stay at/near the set point (the normal level or range).
That’s why homeostasis can be thought of as a DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM.
TYPES
MECHANISM
Feedback Regulation Loop
A physiological regulation system in a living body that works to return the body to its normal internal state in a continuous dynamic manner.
Working
Feedback regulation occurs by responding to a stimulus in such a way that it has an effect of some kind on the original stimulus.
The type of response determines what the feedback is called.
Negative feedback occurs when the response to a stimulus reduces the original stimulus.
Positive feedback occurs when the response to a stimulus increases the original stimulus.
Example
Thermoregulation:
Body temperature rises above set point (i.e., exercise)
Body’s nervous system will activate the mechanisms to cool it down
Blood flow to the skin increases – to speed up heat loss into surroundings
Skin’s sweat glands activation – to start evaporation for cooling
Heavy breathing – to increase heat loss.

A disruption within one system generally has consequences for several additional body systems
The document discusses physiological homeostasis through negative feedback loops. It explains that homeostasis refers to dynamic processes that maintain balance in internal variables like temperature, blood glucose, and calcium levels. Negative feedback loops work to stabilize these variables. They involve a stimulus, receptor, control center, and effectors. The control center compares the variable to a set point and effectors enact changes that oppose the stimulus in order to return the variable to the set point, maintaining homeostasis. Examples provided are control of body temperature, blood glucose, and blood calcium levels.
The document discusses physiological homeostasis through negative feedback loops, which work to maintain stability of internal variables. It explains that in negative feedback, a change in a variable triggers a response in the opposite direction to return it to the set point. Several examples of negative feedback loops are provided to regulate body temperature, blood glucose levels, and blood calcium levels through the interaction of stimuli, receptors, control centers, and effectors.
Physiology is the study of functions of animal tissues, organs and systems. The goal is to understand mechanisms at physical and chemical levels. Physiological processes obey laws of physics and chemistry. Structure and function are closely related through evolution. Homeostasis refers to maintenance of stable internal conditions despite external changes. Feedback control systems detect variations and trigger responses to correct deviations and maintain homeostasis. Negative feedback slows processes when products accumulate, while positive feedback accelerates production.

The document discusses physiological homeostasis through negative feedback loops, which work to maintain stability of internal variables. It explains that in negative feedback, a change in a variable triggers a response in the opposite direction to return it to the set point. Several examples of negative feedback loops are provided to regulate body temperature, blood glucose levels, and blood calcium levels through the interaction of stimuli, receptors, control centers, and effectors.
Physiology is the study of functions of animal tissues, organs and systems. The goal is to understand mechanisms at physical and chemical levels. Physiological processes obey laws of physics and chemistry. Structure and function are closely related through evolution. Homeostasis refers to maintenance of stable internal conditions despite external changes. Feedback control systems detect variations and trigger responses to correct deviations and maintain homeostasis. Negative feedback slows processes when products accumulate, while positive feedback accelerates production.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

2. Learning Objectives
• Define the components of a homeostatic system.
• Be able to recognize each of the components in
representative systems.
• Define negative feedback.
• Explain how homeostatic mechanisms regulated by
negative feedback detect and respond to
environmental changes.
• Define positive feedback.
• Describe the actions of a positive feedback loop.
2
3. Homeostasis
• Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a
relatively stable internal environment in
an ever-changing outside world.
• Is the tendency toward internal balance
• Chemical, thermal, and neural factors
interact to maintain homeostasis.
3
4. Concept of Homeostasis
• The internal environment of the body (ECF)
is in a dynamic state of equilibrium
• All different body systems operate in
harmony to provide homeostasis
• Extreme dysfunction leads to death;
moderate dysfunction leads to sickness.
4
5. Components of Homeostatic Systems
• The body maintains homeostasis by using
homeostatic control systems
– Three components associated with each system:
• receptor
• control center
• effector
Receptor
– The structure that detects changes in a variable,
the stimulus
• e.g., a change in temperature
– Consists of sensory nerves
5
6. Components of Homeostatic Systems
Control center
– The structure that interprets input from the
receptor
– Initiates changes through the effector
– A portion of the nervous system or an endocrine
organ
Effector
– The structure that brings about change to alter the
stimulus
– Most body structures
• e.g., muscles or glands
6
7. Maintenance of Homeostasis
• Nervous system
– Controls and coordinates bodily activities that
require rapid responses
– Detects and initiates reactions to changes in
external environment
– e.g., regulation of blood pressure upon rising
• Endocrine system
– Secreting glands of endocrine regulate activities
that require duration rather than speed
– e.g., parathyroid hormone regulating calcium
levels
7
8. Factors Homeostatically Regulated
• Concentration of nutrient molecules
• Concentration of water, salt, and other electrolytes
• Concentration of waste products
• Concentration of O2 = 100mmHg and CO2 = 40
mmHg
• pH = 7.35
• Blood volume 4-6 L and pressure 120/80
• Temperature = 37o C
8
9. • Response of a homeostatic system occurs through
a feedback loop:
– stimulus
– detection of stimulus by a receptor
– information relayed to the control center
– integration of the input by control center and
initiation of change through effectors
– return of homeostasis by the actions of effectors

12. Homeostatic Control Systems
• Feedback - refers to responses
made after change has been
detected
– Types of feedback systems
• Negative
• Positive
12
13. Feedback Loops: Types
• Negative feedback loop
– original stimulus reversed
– most feedback systems in the body are
negative
– used for conditions that need frequent
adjustment
• Positive feedback loop
– original stimulus intensified
– seen during normal childbirth
13
14. Homeostatic Systems Regulated by
Negative Feedback
• Negative feedback
– A type of homeostatic control system that maintains
the variable within a normal range
– Resulting action in the opposite direction of stimulus
– Controls most processes in the body
– Variable maintained within a normal level, its set point
• fluctuates around the set point
– If stimulus increases, homeostatic control system
activated to cause a decrease in the stimulus
– If stimulus decreases, homeostatic control system
activated to cause an increase in the stimulus
14
15. Temperature regulation
– Body temperature drops
– Sensory receptors detect this and signal the hypothalamus
(component of the brain)
– Hypothalamus alerts nerve impulses in blood vessels in the
skin to decrease the inside opening of the vessels
– This decreases amount of amount of blood circulating to the
surface of the body
– Less heat is released through skin
– Nerve impulses are sent to skeletal muscles, causing
shivering
– Nerve impulses are sent to smooth muscles of hair follicles,
causing “goosebumps”

17. Temperature regulation (continued)
– Body temperature rises
– Sensory receptors detect this and signal the
hypothalamus
– Hypothalamus alerts nerve impulses in blood
vessels in the skin to increase the inside opening
of the vessels
– This increases the amount of blood circulating to
the body surface
– More heat is released through skin

19. • Other examples of homeostatic regulation:
– withdrawal reflex in response to injury
– regulating heart rate and blood pressure during
exercise
– changing breathing rate in response to increased
carbon dioxide
– parathyroid hormone release in response to
decreased calcium
– release of insulin by the pancreas in response to
increased blood glucose
19
Homeostatic Systems Regulated by
Negative Feedback
20. Homeostatic Systems Regulated by
Positive Feedback
• Positive feedback during breastfeeding
– Sensory detectors detect baby suckling
– Message is transmitted to the hypothalamus
– Hypothalamus signals posterior pituitary to release the
hormone oxytocin
– Oxytocin stimulates the mammary gland to eject breast
milk
– Cycle repeats as long as the baby suckles
• Other examples of positive feedback:
– blood clotting cascade
– uterine contractions of labor
20
21.
22. Positive Feedback during Childbirth
• Stretch receptors in walls of uterus send signals to
the brain
• Brain induces release of hormone (oxytocin) into
bloodstream
• Uterine smooth muscle contracts more forcefully
• More stretch, more hormone, more contraction etc.
• Cycle ends with birth of the baby & decrease in
stretch
22
23. Homeostasis of
Blood Pressure
• Baroreceptors in walls of
blood vessels detect an
increase in BP
• Brain receives input and
signals from blood vessels
and heart
• Blood vessels dilate, HR
decreases
• BP decreases
