Biological Organization
cells Basic unit of structure and function in the body
tissues Groups of cells with a similar function. muscular nervous epithelial connective
organs Anatomical and functional units formed by collections of the four tissue types. Heart Liver Skin
systems Collections of organs that perform a common function.
systems nervous endocrine musculoskeletal circulatory respiratory urinary digestive immune reproductive integumentary
Homeostasis State of dynamic internal constancy. We maintain homeostasis by using negative feedback mechanisms.
Essential Parameters heat (measured as temperature) pH oxygen ion concentrations water blood pressure glucose
pH regulation What is pH? pH = -log [H + ] As hydronium ion concentration goes up the pH goes down.
pH regulation Why do we control pH? Chemical reactions happen at only certain pH Proteins are active at certain pH
pH regulation How do we control pH? 1.Normal plasma pH = Bicarbonate buffers small changes in pH 3.We do something and pH drops 4.Change in pH is detected by sensor (aortic and carotid bodies) 5.Signal sent to control center typically either a hormone or nerve impulse 6.pH value compared to set point 7.If outside set point range, then a signal is sent to an effector Effectors are typically a muscle or gland. Once activated the cells react to the stimulus and typically produce either a protein or release vesicles. 8.Effectors involved in pH regulation: pulmonary system, renal system, bones
