2. Moving from tissue to organs and organ systems
4.7 Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Membranes
Moving from tissue to organs and organ systems
An organ is 2 or more tissue types working towards a particular function.
An organ system is a combination of organs that work together to carry out a particular function.

6. What about the body membranes that line the cavities?
4.7 Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Membranes
What about the body membranes that line the cavities?
Mucous membranes – line the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems
Serous membranes – line the lungs, heart, and abdominal cavity and cover the internal organs; named after their location
Pleura: lungs
Peritoneum: abdominal cavity and organs
Pericardium: heart

7. What about the body membranes that line the cavities?
4.7 Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Membranes
What about the body membranes that line the cavities?
Synovial membranes – line the cavities of freely movable joints
Meninges – cover the brain and spinal cord

8. Tissues – Tissue Donation
One person’s tissues can improve the lives of as many as 50 people.
Injuries from motor vehicle accidents, burst blood vessels, and drowning are common causes of brain death.
Once dead, brain cells cannot recover.
Brain dead is different than being in a coma or vegetative state.
Tissues can be treated to remove any proteins that a person’s immune system may react to so there is no need for donor matching.
Organs must be donor matched

9. Tissues – Tissue Donation
Types of tissues
Corneas
Eye tissue
Skin
Bones
Tendons
Veins
Heart valves

10. Homeostasis
Maintenance of the internal conditions of an organism at some optimum level for its functioning.

11. 4.8 Homeostasis
What is homeostasis?
It is the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal environment in the body.
The nervous and endocrine systems are key in maintaining homeostasis.
Changes from the normal tolerance limits result in illness or even death.

12. All systems are important in maintaining homeostasis
Endocrine System
All systems of the body contribute to
maintain homeostasis. These systems
in particular are especially note worthy.
Endocrine glands secrete hormones, which
also regulate and coordinate the activities of
other systems. Works more slowly than the
nervous system.
Nervous System
Respiratory System
Regulates and coordinates the activities of all
the other systems. It responds quickly to
internal and external stimuli.
Supplies blood with oxygen for tissue cells
and rids blood of carbon dioxide. Helps
regulate the acid–base balance of the blood.
Cardiovascular System
Urinary System
Transports oxygen and nutrients to tissue
cells and transports wastes away from cells.
Also transports hormones secreted by the
endocrine glands.
Excretes nitrogenous and other wastes.
Regulates water–salt balance of the blood.
Helps regulate the acid–base balance of the
blood.
Digestive System
Lymphatic System
Supplies blood with nutrients and water for
tissue cells. Rids the body of nondigestible
remains.
Helps maintain blood volume by collecting
excess tissue fluid and returning it via
lymphatic vessels to the cardio vascular veins.
Defends against disease.
Figure Homeostasis by the organ systems of the human body.
Muscular System
Integumentary System
Produces heat that maintains body
temperature. Protects and supports internal
organs.
Helps maintain body temperature and protects
internal organs.

13. What are the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis?
Negative feedback – the output of the system resolves or corrects the original stimulus
Positive feedback – brings about an increasing change in the same direction as the original stimulus

14. Negative feedback The primary mechanism for maintaining homeostasis
The output of the system dampens the original stimulus
Has 2 components
sensor
control center
Control center
sends data to control center
directs response to stimulus

16. 4.8 Homeostasis
Positive feedback
A mechanism for increasing the change of the internal environment in one direction
An example is the secretion of oxytocin during childbirth to continually increase uterine contractions
Can be harmful such as when a fever is too high and continues to rise
