1 An Overview of Anatomy Anatomy - The study of the structure of the human body and it’s parts. Physiology - The study of how the body parts function and interact.

2 Homeostasis Homeo – Similar stasis – does not change

3 Short Verse Do one for each concept below using a different type of short verse for each. See Short verse on my web page. Anatomy Physiology Homeosasis

4 Glossary Maintain – keep up.
Interdependent – reliant on other systems to maintain home stasis Constant – the same. Internal – inside the body. Environment – surroundings of the body. Feedback - a cycle in which the output of a system “feeds back” to modify or reinforce the actions of the system in order to maintain homeostasis. Balanced Imbalance

5 Glossary Negative feedback - a change causes system 1 to send a message to system 2 to restore homeostasis. When system 1 detects that system 2 has acted, it stops signaling for action and system 2 stops (turned off). Positive feedback - the original stimulus is promoted rather than stopped. Positive feedback is rarely used to maintain homeostasis. An example of positive feedback is childbirth.

6 What is Homeostasis? Body cells work best if they have the correct
Temperature Water levels Glucose concentration Your body has mechanisms to keep the cells in a constant balanced healthy environment. When an external stimuli of any system is detected that moves it outside of an acceptable or normal gradient then internal responses react to maintain homeostasis. Proper working order.

7 What is Homeostasis? The maintenance of a constant environment in the body is called Homeostasis

8 Controlling body temperature
All mammals maintain a constant body temperature. Human beings have a body temperature of about 37ºC. E.g. If your body is in a hot environment your body temperature is 37ºC If your body is in a cold environment your body temperature is still 37ºC

9 Controlling body temperature
Animals with a large surface area compared to their volume will lose heat faster than animals with a small surface area. Volume = _______ Surface area = ______ Volume : Surface area ratio = ___________ Volume = _______ Surface area = ______ Volume : Surface area ratio = ___________

10 Controlling body temperature
Volume : Surface area ratio = 1:6 Volume : Surface area ratio = 1:5 For every 1 unit of heat made, heat is lost out of 6 sides For every 1 unit of heat made, heat is lost out of 5 sides

11 Controlling body temperature
Volume : Surface area ratio = 1:6 Volume : Surface area ratio = 1:5 The bigger the Volume : Surface Area ratio is, the faster heat will be lost.

12 Penguins huddling to keep warm

13 What mechanisms are there to cool the body down?
Sweating When your body is hot, sweat glands are stimulated to release sweat. The liquid sweat turns into a gas (it evaporates) To do this, it needs heat. It gets that heat from your skin. As your skin loses heat, it cools down.

14 Sweating The skin

15 What mechanisms are there to cool the body down?
Vasodilation Your blood carries most of the heat energy around your body. There are capillaries underneath your skin that can be filled with blood if you get too hot. This brings the blood closer to the surface of the skin so more heat can be lost. This is why you look red when you are hot!

16 This means more heat is lost from the surface of the skin
If the temperature rises, the blood vessel dilates (gets bigger).

17 What mechanisms are there to warm the body up?
Vasoconstriction This is the opposite of vasodilation The capillaries underneath your skin get constricted (shut off). This takes the blood away from the surface of the skin so less heat can be lost.

18 This means less heat is lost from the surface of the skin
If the temperature falls, the blood vessel constricts (gets shut off).

19 What mechanisms are there to warm the body up?
Piloerection This is when the hairs on your skin “stand up” . It is sometimes called “goose bumps” or “chicken skin”! The hairs trap a layer of air next to the skin which is then warmed by the body heat The air becomes an insulating layer.

21 Controlling Glucose levels
Your cells also need an exact level of glucose in the blood. Glucose moves into the cells for cellular respiration Excess glucose gets turned into glycogen in the liver This is regulated by 2 hormones (chemicals) from the pancreas called: Insulin Glucagon

22 If there is too much glucose in the blood, Insulin converts some of it to glycogen the rest moves into the cells for use in cellular respiration. Glycogen Insulin Glucose in the blood

23 Glycogen If there is not enough glucose in the blood, Glucagon converts some glycogen into glucose. Glucagon Glucose in the blood

24 Diabetes Some people do not produce enough insulin.
When they eat food, the glucose levels in their blood cannot be reduced. This condition is known as DIABETES. Diabetics sometimes have to inject insulin into their blood. They have to be careful of their diet.

25 Glucose levels rise after a meal.
Insulin is produced and glucose levels fall to normal again. Glucose Concentration Normal Time Meal eaten

26 Meal eaten Glucose levels rise after a meal. Diabetic
Concentration Diabetic Insulin is not produced so glucose levels stay high Time Meal eaten

27 Insulin The glucose in the blood increases.
Glycogen The glucose in the blood increases. But there is no insulin to convert it into glycogen. Glucose concentration rises to dangerous levels. Insulin Glucose in the blood

28 Blood Glucose Feedback Mechanism
Pancreas produces Insulin Glucose into cells Out of blood Blood glucose increases Homeostasis Blood glucose decreases ( High ) (Low) Glucose out of cells Into blood Pancreas produces Glucagon

29 Controlling water levels
The control of water levels is carried out by the KIDNEYS. It is closely linked to the excretion of urea. Urea is a waste product that is made when the LIVER breaks down proteins that are not needed by the body. Urea contains the element Nitrogen.

30 The kidneys The kidneys “clean” the blood of waste products and control how much water is kept in the body. The waste products and water make up urine which is excreted via the ureter. “Dirty” blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. Then, several things happen to clean the blood...

31 1. Filtration Blood enters the tubule area in a capillary. The capillary forms a small “knot” near the kidney tubule. The blood is filtered so all the small particles go into the tubule. The capillary then carries on to run next to the tubule.

32 The kidney tubule now contains lots of blood components including:
Glucose: Ions: Water: Urea:

33 2. Reabsorb sugar The body needs to have sugar in the blood for cells to use in respiration. So all the sugar is reabsorbed back into the capillary.

34 2. Reabsorb sugar The body needs to have sugar in the blood for cells to use in respiration. So all the sugar is reabsorbed back into the capillary.

35 3. Reabsorb water Water and ions are the next to be absorbed. It depends on how much is needed by the body.

36 3. Reabsorb water Water and ions are the next to be absorbed. It depends on how much is needed by the body.

37 Reabsorbing water If you have too little water in your blood, you will produce very concentrated urine. (very little water in it) If you have too much water in your blood, you will produce very dilute urine. (lots of water in it)

38 5. Excrete the waste Everything that is left in the kidney tubule is waste: All the urea Excess water This waste is called urine. It is excreted via the ureter and is stored in the bladder. Renal vein The “clean” blood leaves the kidney in the renal vein. Ureter

39 Summary of urine production
Urea is a waste product made in the LIVER Water content of the body is controlled in the KIDNEYS Urea, water and other waste makes up URINE. Urine travels down the URETER and is stored in the BLADDER Urine is excreted through the URETHRA.

40 Temperature regulation, glucose level control and water level control are all examples of NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS.

41 Elements and Mechanisms of Homeostatic Control
Brief definition or explanation on a separate sheet of paper. Receptor Receptor detects change Input Output Response Stimulus Afferent pathway Efferent pathway Control center Effector

42

43 NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS-
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS- push a system back to its original equilibrium position Examples:

44 POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS– push a system to a new state of equilibrium
Examples:

45 Earth’s systems, Nature, Plants and of course… Humans and other animals.
Both natural and human systems are influenced by feedback mechanisms. Generally, we wish to preserve the environment in its original state, so negative feedback is usually helpful and positive feedback is usually undesirable. However there are other situations where change is needed and positive feedback is advantageous

46 Homeostatic Control Students lab groups will present as a diagram or simple model of the 10 key terms for the elements of homeostatic control. List five examples of both positive and negative feedback mechanisms. 3 human and 2 environmental List five measurements with an explanation taken in a hospital to monitor homeostasis. Students will individually write a brief reflecting on a personal observation of an individuals response to homeostatic control. Homeostatic Exercise Lab
