4. Anatomy and Physiology  Our final unit for the year!  Anatomy is the study of the structure of a living thing. For instance, organ names and locations.  Physiology is the study of the functions and life maintenance of a living thing. For instance, organ jobs and interactions.  The unit will be broken up into the study of the major mammalian organ systems, with emphasis on humans.  Our final unit for the year!  Anatomy is the study of the structure of a living thing.

12. Central Theme  We learned a general overview of how cells maintain their lives, we learned a general overview of how structures like organs and the organization of tissues developed through time, and the focus in this unit is on:  HOMEOSTASIS  (don’t suppose anybody remembers this word?)  We learned a general overview of how cells maintain their lives, we learned a general overview of how structures like organs and the organization of tissues developed through time, and the focus in this unit is on:  HOMEOSTASIS  (don’t suppose anybody remembers this word?)

13. Central Theme  HOMEOSTASIS: Regulation of the internal environment to achieve a stable, constant condition.  Maintaining a stable body temperature, energy, pH, etc. Basically, keeping the body at the level of stability that permits survival.  The organ systems are all about the different ways that parts of the body contribute to maintaining homeostasis.  HOMEOSTASIS: Regulation of the internal environment to achieve a stable, constant condition.  Maintaining a stable body temperature, energy, pH, etc. Basically, keeping the body at the level of stability that permits survival.  The organ systems are all about the different ways that parts of the body contribute to maintaining homeostasis.

14. Homeostasis  For instance, maintaining a stable, constant level of blood sugar…

15. Homeostasis  A significant way that this is done is through physiological feedback loops.  What’s feedback?  What’s a loop?  A significant way that this is done is through physiological feedback loops.  What’s feedback?  What’s a loop?

16. Homeostasis  A physiological feedback loop is the body regulating itself in response to a stimulus.  Two kinds: positive and negative feedback loops.  A physiological feedback loop is the body regulating itself in response to a stimulus.  Two kinds: positive and negative feedback loops.

17. Homeostasis  Positive feedback loop: In response to a rising level of the input, you get more of the output.  What ever is out of balance becomes more out of balance.  A positive feedback loop, in terms of the body, more often than not disrupts homeostasis rather than maintains it.  So-called “vicious cycle.”  Positive feedback loop: In response to a rising level of the input, you get more of the output.  What ever is out of balance becomes more out of balance.  A positive feedback loop, in terms of the body, more often than not disrupts homeostasis rather than maintains it.  So-called “vicious cycle.”

18. Positive Feedback Loops  Another example: oxytocin stimulating contractions

19. Negative Feedback Loop  Negative feedback loop: In response to a rising level of the input, you decrease the output.  Whatever is out of balance becomes less out of balance.  Essential to maintaining homeostasis.  Negative feedback loop: In response to a rising level of the input, you decrease the output.  Whatever is out of balance becomes less out of balance.  Essential to maintaining homeostasis.

20. Negative Feedback Loop  Another example is body temperature.  As temp rises, nerves signal capillaries to dilate, which releases some heat.  When temp is too low, other nerves signal capillaries to contract, conserving heat.  Another example is body temperature.  As temp rises, nerves signal capillaries to dilate, which releases some heat.  When temp is too low, other nerves signal capillaries to contract, conserving heat.

21. Feedback Loops  To get used to the idea of a feedback loop, I want you to think of at least four more, two positive and two negative.  They don’t have to be physiological. They could be human activities, environmental, something from a movie or video game, anything.  Diagram each one, and label them as positive or negative. Handed in for credit.  Grade not given for beautiful art or anything, just for whether or not I can tell that yes, this is a negative feedback loop.  To get used to the idea of a feedback loop, I want you to think of at least four more, two positive and two negative.  They don’t have to be physiological.
