Take out your Lab sheets from yesterday
You will have 10 minutes to
Graph your data
Answer the analysis questions
You’ll be graded on completion
We need to move quickly today (pep rally schedule = 30 minute classes)
Last day to complete test analysis is Today
Notecards are due Tuesday, March 7th (word, definition, picture in color)

2. Question Check…

3. Set up journals

Title: Feedback Loops
EQ: What are feedback loops and how do they help a body maintain homeostasis?

4. Standard
B.10A - describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of regulation, nutrient absorption, reproduction, and defense from injury or illness in animals

5. Talk to your shoulder partner: What are some things that your body regulates? (regulate = control)

6. What is homeostasis?
…its all about BALANCE

7. What does it mean? Maintaining a constant internal environment.
Homeostasis comes from the Greek and means “staying the same”
Maintaining a constant internal environment.
Claude Bernard
( )

8. What happens when there is an imbalance in the internal environment?

9. What other ways did your body respond?
Think back to the lab from yesterday.
How was your breathing?
Start Timer
60 Seconds 60 45
What other ways did your body respond? 30 15

10. FEEDBACK LOOP: Feedback:  a response within a system (molecule, cell, organism, or population) that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system Loop: a programmed sequence of instructions that is repeated until a particular condition is satisfied
How does the idea of a feedback loop relate to the lab from yesterday.
What was the stimulus?
Response?

11. The system responds in the opposite direction to the stimulus
Negative feedback
The system responds in the opposite direction to the stimulus
The OPPOSITE thing is added to return to the original condition
examples: shivering when you’re cold, blood sugar regulation
*As a general rule, most body responses are the result of negative feedback loops

12. The system responds in the same direction as the stimulus
Positive feedback
The system responds in the same direction as the stimulus
The SAME thing is added to return to the original condition
examples: contractions before child birth, blood clotting
*there are very few examples of these in body systems.

13. Is this a positive or negative feedback loop?

14. Body takes action Normal Normal Body takes action Increase Decrease

15. Why do we need to maintain a constant temperature?
Enzymes work best at normal body temperature (approx. 37oC)
Too hot and we can get hyperthermia (40oC).
Too cold and we can get hypothermia (35oC).

16. Taking off some clothes
Too hot
Skin goes red
Sweating
Normal
Stamp feet
Goosebumps
Too cold
Shivering

17. Cells need a healthy diet of glucose.
Food for the cells…
Glucose.
Cells need a healthy diet of glucose.
Not too much…not too little Body needs to control level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. This is done by the pancreas.

18. Insulin tells liver to store the glucose as glycogen.
Too much glucose…
Pancreas secretes
a hormone called
insulin.
Insulin tells liver to store the glucose as glycogen.

19. Not enough glucose… Pancreas can also secrete a hormone called
glucagon.
This tells the liver to convert glycogen back to glucose.

20. Makes insulin. Pancreas Blood Liver Normal blood glucose levels
Transports insulin around the body.
Converts glucose to glycogen and stores it.
Normal blood glucose levels
Pancreas
Blood
Liver
Makes glucagon.
Transports glucagon around the body.
Converts glycogen back into glucose and puts it back into the blood

21. Diabetes.
With diabetes (type I) the pancreas does NOT produce insulin.
It used to be called the wasting disease as you died very slowly, becoming weaker and weaker, until you entered a coma.

22. Blood glucose regulation Temperature regulation
Positive or negative?
Blood glucose regulation
Temperature regulation

23. For the rest of today… Draw a feedback loop of your own! Requirements:
Think about how your body responds when:
you get dehydrated
you get scared
you cut your finger
you get tired
Use your own example for extra credit.
You MUST get approval before you begin.
Requirements:
Your feedback loop must be titled
You must have at least 4 steps in your loop
You must write the steps and draw them (they should be colored, too!)
These will go up in the hallway…so make them school appropriate and neat!
This is for a daily grade.
