PATHFIT

This document contains information about physiology and homeostasis. It discusses: 1. Physiology as the science concerned with the function of the living organism and its parts, and the physical and chemical processes involved. It describes different levels of structural organization in the body from systems to organs. 2. Homeostasis as the condition of equilibrium in the body's internal environment where processes work to maintain stable, nearly constant conditions essential for life. Feedback systems sense changes and trigger responses to regulate things like blood pressure and glucose levels. 3. Feedback systems have receptors that monitor changes, control centers that process the input and generate responses, and effectors that enact the responses to influence the controlled condition. Negative feedback acts to reverse changes

SYSTEM LEVEL
A system consists of related organs
with a common function
Organ-system level
Digestive system breaks down and
absorbs food
It includes organs such as the mouth,
small and large intestines, liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas

BODY FLUIDS
• Maintaining the volume and composition of body fluids are
important
–Body fluids are defined as dilute, watery solutions
containing dissolved chemicals inside or outside of the cell
–Intracellular Fluid (ICF)
• Fluid within cells
–Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
• Fluid outside cells
• Interstitial fluid is ECF between cells and tissues

INTERSTIALFLUID AND
BODY FUNCTION

• Cellular function depends on the regulation of


composition of interstitial fluid
• Body’s internal environment
• Composition of interstitial fluid changes as it moves
–Movement back and forth across capillary walls
provide nutrients (glucose, oxygen, ions) to tissue
cells and removes waste (carbon dioxide)
• Homeostasis is constantly 08
• being disrupted CONTROL OF
HOMEOSTASIS
–Physical insults
• Intense heat or lack of oxygen
–Changes in the internal environment
• Drop in blood glucose due to lack of food
–Physiological stress
• Demands of work or school
–Disruptions
• Mild and temporary (balance is quickly restored)
• Intense and Prolonged (poisoning or severe infections)

FEEDBAC • Control Center
–Brain

–Body structure that monitors
–Evaluates input received from

receptors and generates output
–Sends input to the control center

• Brains acts as a control center
receiving nerve impulses from
skin temperature receptors

Negative Feedback: Regulation of Blood Pressure
12
• External or internal stimulus increase BP
–Baroreceptors (pressure sensitive
receptors)
•Detect higher BP
•Send nerve impulses to brain for
interpretation
•Response sent via nerve impulse sent
to heart and blood vessels
•BP drops and homeostasis is restored
•Drop in BP negates the original
stimulus

• Normal conditions, heart pumps blood
under pressure to body cells (oxygen
and nutrients)
• Severe blood loss
–Blood pressure drops
–Cells receive less oxygen and
function less efficiently
–If blood loss continues
• Heart cells become weaker
• Heart doesn’t pump
• BP continues to fall

• Normal equilibrium of body processes are disrupted
–Moderate imbalance
• Disorder or abnormality of structure and function
• Disease specific for an illness with recognizable signs
and symptoms
• Signs are objective changes such as a fever or swelling
• Symptoms are subjective changes such as headache
–Severe imbalance
• Death
