Homeostasis (give examples, thermoregulation, water regulation, blood pressure regulation)

• Condition of equilibrium in the body’s internal environment, and maintained by regulatory
processes.
• Survival of our body cells is dependent on the precise regulation of the chemical composition of
their surrounding fluid o Fluid known as extracellular fluid, and fluid that fills narrow spaces
between cells is interstitial fluid.
 Other types are blood plasma, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, aqueous
humor, and vitreous body.
• Internal conditions are in a dynamic equilibrium; set point (like thermostat in house)
• Essential for maintenance of life; death and disease
• Homeostatic control loop; receptor, control center and effector




• Negative Feedback: works to oppose change, brings condition back to a set point. i.e. – blood
pressure
• Positive Feedback: works to enhance change, brings condition further away from a set point.
i.e. – childbirth, blood clotting. Things that don’t occur a lot.
• Water Regulation: kidneys and water balance concentration of mineral ions in the blood, get
rid of waste products, especially nitrogen-containing compound called urea.
o Can also be excreted, and removes heat from the body when a person sweats, helping
regulate body temp.
