  1. Homeostasishomeo-the same stasis-stable, stationary, static

  2. Homeostasis COMPONENTS OF CREATING BALANCE 1. STIMULUS- change that occurs in the internal environment ( ex. During exercise, not enough oxygen getting to cells) 2. RECEPTORS -Sensors that monitor the internal environment (ex. Nerve cells detect the drop in O2 levels in the blood when exercise begins) 3.CONTROL CENTER (set point)-determineswhat a particular value should be, usually determined by the brain.(ex. Brain-identifies O2 levels are low and stimulates change) 3. EFFECTORS-cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment, usually they are muscles or glands (ex. Adrenal glands stimulated by brain to release adrenaline which speeds up the heart rate to deliver more O2 needed for cells) 5. RESPONSE-how the change is corrected (ex. Heart rate increases)

  3. Homeostasis-process of maintaining balance

  4. HomeostasisHomeostasis Explained

  5. Two Types of Control: 1.) Negative Feedback • Causes conditions to return to normal. Reduces the deviation from the set-point. The action of the effectors is shut off. • Returns the system to normal (lessens the deviation from the set point). • The change is opposite to the original change. Example 1: Blood sugar increase -Too much sugar in the blood releases insulin which causes the body to increase storage of sugar which ultimately decreases sugar levels in the blood. Example 2: Body Temperature Decrease-if body temperature drops, muscles begin contracting (shivering) to produce heat which ultimately increases the body temperature. Example 3: Body Temperature Increase –if body temperature increases, blood vessels expand to release heat which ultimately decreases body temperature.

  6. Negative feedback is like a thermostat

  7. Negative feedback controls body temperature.

  8. Negative Feedback -Temperature Regulation

  9. Negative Feedback-Blood Sugar Regulation

  10. 2.) POSITIVE FEEDBACK • Output of a system turns onor increases the action of the effectors. • Moves the system away from normal (increases the deviation from the set point). • The change is the same as the original change. Example 1: Blood clotting- thechemicals (platelets and fibrin) that carry out the processes of clotting are turned on to stimulate more clotting in order to minimize bleeding. Example 2: Childbirth-increase in uterine contractions help to push child out of the womb.

  11. Positive Feedback Loop-Blood Clotting

  12. Positive Feedback-Uterine Contractions
