29 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-6 Homeostasis Homeostasis All body systems working together to maintain a stable internal environment Systems respond to external and internal changes to function within a normal range (body temperature, fluid balance)

30 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-6 Homeostasis Mechanisms of Regulation Autoregulation (intrinsic) Automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ to some environmental change Extrinsic regulation Responses controlled by nervous and endocrine systems

31 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-6 Homeostasis Receptor Receives the stimulus Control center Processes the signal and sends instructions Effector Carries out instructions

32 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 1-2 The Control of Room Temperature Normal condition disturbed Information affects RECEPTOR Thermometer HOMEOSTASIS STIMULUS: Room temperature rises Normal room temperature RESPONSE: Room temperature drops CONTROL CENTER (Thermostat) Normal condition restored EFFECTOR Air conditioner turns on Sends commands to 20°30°40° In response to input from a receptor (a thermometer), a thermostat (the control center) triggers an effector response (either an air condi- tioner or a heater) that restores normal temperature. In this case, when room temperature rises above the set point, the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and the temperature returns to normal. With this regulatory system, room temperature fluctuates around the set point. Air conditioner turns on Air conditioner turns off Time Room temperature (°C) 22 Normal range

33 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-7 Negative and Positive Feedback The Role of Negative Feedback The response of the effector negates the stimulus Body is brought back into homeostasis Normal range is achieved

34 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 1-3 Negative Feedback in the Control of Body Temperature Normal temperature disturbed Information affects RECEPTORS Temperature sensors in skin and hypothalamus HOMEOSTASIS STIMULUS: Body temperature rises Normal body temperature RESPONSE: Increased heat loss, body temperature drops CONTROL CENTER Normal temperature restored EFFECTORS Sweat glands in skin increase secretion Blood vessels in skin dilate Sends commands to Events in the regulation of body temperature, which are comparable to those shown in Figure 1  2. A control center in the brain (the hypothalamus) functions as a thermostat with a set point of 37°C. If body temperature exceeds 37.2°C, heat loss is increased through enhanced blood flow to the skin and increased sweating. The thermoregulatory center keeps body temperature fluctuating within an acceptable range, usually between 36.7 and 37.2°C. Vessels dilate, sweating increases Vessels constrict, sweating decreases Time Body temperature (°C) 37.2 Normal range 37 36.7 Thermoregulatory center in brain

35 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-7 Negative and Positive Feedback The Role of Positive Feedback The response of the effector increases change of the stimulus Body is moved away from homeostasis Normal range is lost Used to speed up processes

36 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 1-4 Positive Feedback: Blood Clotting Clotting accelerates Positive feedback loop Blood clot Chemicals This escalating process is a positive feedback loop that ends with the formation of a blood clot, which patches the vessel wall and stops the bleeding. As clotting continues, each step releases chemicals that further accelerate the process. The chemicals start chain reactions in which cells, cell fragments, and soluble proteins in the blood begin to form a clot. Damage to cells in the blood vessel wall releases chemicals that begin the process of blood clotting. Chemicals

37 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1-7 Negative and Positive Feedback Systems Integration Systems work together to maintain homeostasis Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium Opposing forces are in balance Dynamic equilibrium — continual adaptation Physiological systems work to restore balance Failure results in disease or death
