5 Body Water Spaces Transcellular water = water in bladder, GI tract, eyeballs, gall bladder, etc. for a lean, 70 kg male

6 Homeostasis (temperature control) fig 1-3

7 Homeostasis (error signal)

8 Homeostasis (general principles) fig 1-5
9
9 Temperature control (specific mechanisms) fig 1-6
10
10 Definitions Steady state: Stable condition requiring energy for its maintenance Equilibrium: Lowest energy state; no energy required to maintain Error signal: body returns towards, but not completely, to set point error signal is difference (set point – steady state)
11
11 Chemical messengers fig 1-7
12
12 Biological rhythms Annual: animal reproductive cycles Monthly: menstrual cycle Circadian: see next slide ~ Hours: hormonal fluctuations ~ Seconds: cardiac cycle
13
13 Circadian rhythms fig 1-8
14
14 Circadian rhythms (features) Free running rhythms isolate subject from environmental cues free running rhythm is ~ 24.5 hours pacemaker is suprachiasmatic nucleus in hypothalamus Entrainment environmental cue is light; range 23 – 27 hours Phase shifts jet lag; adjustment requires ~ 1 day per 2 hours of shift
15
15 Balance (general pattern) fig 1-9
16
16 Balance (general pattern) Balance: input = output (most substances over adult lifetime) Negative balance: input < output (muscle mass over adult lifetime) Positive balance input > output (fat over adult lifetime)
17
17 Sodium balance fig 1-10
