2 What is homeostasis? Process that occurs in all living things
All organ systems work together to achieve homeostasis Ability of an organism to maintain its internal environment, despite changes to its internal or external environment Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

3 How does homeostasis work?
Feedback pathways A cellular relay race! Specific organs and structures must communicate with each other in response to changes in the body Keeps levels of certain processes within a normal range Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

4 What things in your body need to be kept within a range?
Body Temperature Blood pressure Blood pH O2 and CO2 concentration Osmoregulation-Water balance Blood glucose Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. all images generated by Microsoft Clip Art Gallery

5 Cellular Relay Race Stimulus Receptor Integrating center Effector
Response Reverses the stimulus Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. all images generated by Microsoft Clip Art Gallery

6 Negative Feedback Pathways
Way in which most homeostatic mechanisms work The product of the pathway inhibits, or shuts down, the original signal Why is this an important feature in living things? Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

7 Why is feedback important in living things?
Allows baseline to be regained Conserves resources Cellular Materials Energy (ATP) Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. all images generated by Microsoft Clip Art Gallery

10 “Glucose!! Release the insulin!”
mouth Stomach Sm. Intestine Circulatory Runners Target cells- Brain Target cells-Muscle Target cells- Liver “Glucose!! Release the insulin!” Pancreas Insulin has been passed to the target cells. Targets can now receive glucose. ß-cells Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. all images generated by Microsoft Clip Art Gallery

11 “Hold insulin production”
mouth Stomach Sm. Intestine Circulatory Runners Target cells- Brain Target cells-Muscle Target cells- Liver “Hold insulin production” Pancreas stops insulin from being passed once there is no more glucose circulating Pancreas ß-cells Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

12 Dueling Hormones What goes up, must come down!
Insulin Produced by -cells of the Pancreas Released into circulatory system when blood glucose is high Facilitates the transport of glucose into target cells Glucagon Produced by -cells of the pancreas Released into the circulatory system when blood glucose is low Signals the liver to break down glycogen into simple glucose Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.

13 Dueling Mechanisms What goes up, must come down!
Thermoregulation Sweating (cooling) vs. shivering (warming) Blood Pressure Vasconstriction vs. vasodilation Osmoregulation Hypotonic vs. hypertonic Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach. Copyright 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. all images generated by Microsoft Clip Art Gallery

14 Food for thought… On average, how many organ systems are involved in each of the processes we’ve explored? Are there any organ systems that you see in all of these processes? What might happen to these pathways if just one system was not functioning properly? Life Sciences-HHMI Outreach.
