Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Homeostasis
14
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Homeostasis Homeostasis—maintenance of a stable internal environment A dynamic state of equilibrium Homeostasis is necessary for normal body functioning and to sustain life Homeostatic imbalance A disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease
15
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Maintaining Homeostasis The body communicates through neural and hormonal control systems 1.Receptor 2.Control center 3.Effector
16
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Maintaining Homeostasis Receptor Responds to changes in the environment (stimuli) Sends information to control center Information flows from the receptor to the control center along a path called the afferent pathway.
17
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Maintaining Homeostasis Control center Determines set point to maintain Analyzes information Determines appropriate response Effector Provides a means for response to the stimulus Information flows from the control center to the effector along the efferent pathway.
18
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Feedback Mechanisms Negative feedback Includes most homeostatic control mechanisms Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces its intensity Works like a household thermostat Ex. Mechanisms that regulate heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, and blood levels of glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and minerals.
19
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Household Thermostat Thermostat set at 70°F Stimulus – temperature of house drops to 68°F Receptor – the thermometer detects a cool temp. o Tells the heater thermostat the change through the afferent pathway Control Center – thermostat turns on the heater. Once the house temperature rises to 70° the thermostat turns the heater off
20
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Feedback Mechanisms Positive feedback Increases the original stimulus to push the variable farther Typically control explosive events and do not require continuous adjustments. In the body this only occurs in blood clotting and during the birth of a baby
21
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector Variable (in homeostasis) Response of effector feeds back to influence magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis Control center Imbalance Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to activate
22
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 1a Variable (in homeostasis)
23
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 1b Stimulus: Produces change in variable Variable (in homeostasis) Imbalance
24
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 2 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Receptor (sensor) Variable (in homeostasis) Imbalance
25
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 3 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Variable (in homeostasis) Control center Imbalance
26
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 4 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector Variable (in homeostasis) Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to activate Control center Imbalance
27
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.4, step 5 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector Variable (in homeostasis) Response of effector feeds back to influence magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to activate Control center Imbalance
