10
Two ways to maintain homeostatis
Negative feedback Positive feedback
11
Negative Feedback: example body temperature
12
Q1: compare response to original stimulus
Answer: The response by the effectors is antagonistic (opposite) of the stimulus Stimulus = body temp ↑ Response = body temp ↓
13
Q2: homeostasis restored? How do you know?
Answer Yes, because the response counteracts the stimulus Brings back balance
14
Positive Feedback: example labor contractions
15
Q3: compare response and stimulus in positive feedback
Answer The response acts to heighten or increase the stimulus Stimulus = ↑ distortion of uterus Response= ↑ distortion and contraction of uterus
16
Q4: Is homeostasis restored in this example? How do you know?
Answer: No, homeostasis is continually disrupted This is a good thing in this case b/c returning to homeostasis would cause the birthing process to stop. The positive feedback loop will continue until birth is complete.
17
Lots of examples of negative feedback loops, few positive loops

About Drinking Water One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 9-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
19
More water stuff A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, breast cancer by 79% and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
20
Cellular homeostasis Every level of organization within the body must maintain homeostasis Phospholipid Bilayer
21
Diffusion Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. The difference in concentration of two solutions is called the concentration gradient Demonstration: food coloring in water ttp://
22
Diffusion across membranes
Molecules that dissolve in lipids can cross the lipid bilayer through diffusion. Example: O CO H2O
23
Osmosis Think back to solutions: solutes and solvents
Osmosis is the process by which water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Direction of movement depends on relative concentrations of solutions.
24
Direction of movement into cells
Hypotonic to the cytosol solution outside the cell is less concentrated than inside the cell water moves into the cell Hypertonic to the cytosol solution outside the cell is more concentrated than inside the cell water moves out of the cell Isotonic concentrations are equal
25
What about the molecules that can’t pass through the membrane freely?
Glucose, Na+, Ca+, K+ and lots of other molecules need to get into and out of the cell but can’t get through the lipid bilayer They must use the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer – and this takes type of transport takes energy
26
Now apply this knowledge to come up with a logical conclusion for the homeostasis and sports drink lab Putting it altogether: research how your body maintains homeostasis when you become dehydrated. Why do you feel thirsty?
