Metabolism and Its Regulation
Learning Outcomes Define metabolism and name the two types of metabolic reactions. Define and give examples of homeostasis. Explain how negative feedback maintains homeostasis.
19
Metabolism and Its Regulation
Types of Metabolism Catabolism Reactions that break substances down Used to form ATP Anabolism Reactions that build substances up Often require ATP
20
Figure 1-2 Metabolism. What type of metabolism does the digestive system do?
21
Metabolism and Its Regulation
Homeostasis Body’s maintenance of internal balance Body fluid balance is especially important Extracellular fluid Blood plasma Lymph Fluid between cells Intracellular fluid Fluid within cells
22
Metabolism and Its Regulation
Homeostasis Negative feedback Critical for maintaining our health Keeps body conditions within a normal range by reversing any upward or downward shift
23
Figure 1-3 Negative feedback.
How does a thermostat respond to a room temperature that falls below normal?
24
Figure 1-4 Negative feedback and body temperature.
How does the brain respond to an increase in body temperature?
25
Figure 1-5 Negative feedback in the endocrine system.

26
Metabolism and Its Regulation
Effects of Aging Gradual changes in all body systems Some changes are harmless. Wrinkles and gray hair Some changes may result in injury and disease. Decreased kidney function Loss of bone mass Formation of deposits within blood vessels

Metabolism and Its Regulation
? Metabolism and Its Regulation Pop Quiz 1.5 Which example illustrates negative feedback? Decreased blood sugar stimulates release of a hormone that further decreases blood sugar. Decreased room temperature activates a thermostat, which further decreases heat output by a furnace. A rise in blood calcium levels stimulates release of a hormone that lowers blood calcium levels. A rise in estrogen levels stimulates production of a hormone that stimulates estrogen production.

Body Directions Learning Outcomes
List and define the main directional terms for the body. List and define three planes of division of the body.
34
Body Directions Directional Terms
Healthcare professionals use standardized terms to describe body directions. Superior and inferior Anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) Medial and lateral Proximal and distal All descriptions assume that the body is in anatomic position.
35
Figure 1-6 Directional terms.
What is the scientific name for the position in which the figures are standing?
36
Body Directions Planes of Division
Anatomists can divide the body along three planes, each of which is a cut through the body in a different direction Frontal plane Sagittal plane Transverse plane
37
Figure 1-7 Planes of division.
Which plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts? Which plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts?
38
Body Directions Planes of Division
Some additional terms are used to describe tissues and CT or MRI images. Cross section Longitudinal section Oblique section
