1. Explain that the body is organized as a functional hierarchy from
the cell to tissues to organs to body systems to the individual.
2. Describe how the cell is the basic unit of life, and list itsfundamental requirements to survive.
3. The ultimate objective of this complexity is to maintain a stabileinternal environment (=homeostasis).
4. Describe the general mechanisms by which homeostasis isachieved.
5. Establish how a breakdown in homeostatic mechanisms can resultin sickness or disease.

Living systems consist of a hierarchy ofcomplexity, starting with the basic unit of all lifethe cell.
Many cells of similar structure and function form atissue.
Different tissues form an organ and different organs
form a body system.
Each body system has one or more functions (e.g.,our integumentary system reduces water loss andprotects us from infection).
The eleven body systems work together to become anindividual.

Cell survival depends upon some basicrequirements, such as :-
consumption of oxygen,- release of carbon dioxide and nitrogenouswaste,
- breakdown of nutrients,- maintenance of ionic equilibria,- an ability to respond to local extracelluar
change,- and in some cases cell division.
These cellular requirements are reflected inthe air we breathe, the food we eat, and thewaste we excrete.

The body's fluids, is about 60% of the total body
weight, can be partitioned into 2 major
compartments :- the intracellular compartment
- the extracellular compartment.
The intracellular compartment, 40% of the body'sweight, is primarily a solution of potassium, other
ions, and proteins.
The extracellular compartment, 20% of the body
weight, is comprised of the interstitial fluids,plasma, and other fluids, such as mucus and
digestive juices, is primarily composed of NaCl
and NaHCO3.

The living cells of our body, surrounded byan internal environment (extracellularfluid), communicate with the externalworld through this medium.
Exchanges of matter and energy betweenthe body and the external environment(indicated by arrows) occur via :- the gastrointestinal tract,
- kidneys,- lungs,- and skin (including the specialized
sensory organs).

For optimal cell, tissue, and organ function ,
several facets of the internal environmentmust be maintained within narrow limits
These include to :
(1) Oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions,(2) Concentrations of glucose and other
metabolites,(3) Osmotic pressure,(4) Concentrations of hydrogen, potassium,
calcium, and magnesium ions, and(5) Temperature

Homeostasis Is the Maintenance of Steady States in
the Body by Coordinated Physiological Mechanisms
Homeostasis in a general sense refers to stability,
balance or equilibrium.
Maintaining a stable internal environment requires
constant monitoring and adjustments as conditions
change.
This adjusting of physiological systems within the bodyis called homeostatic regulation.
-

Homeostatic regulation
involves three parts or
mechanisms:
1) the receptor,
2) the contro l center,
3) the effector.
-
8/22/2019 Controlling System Bloc 6 2011
13/43
Three Basic
Components:1. Receptor
detects change in avariable(stimulus/stress)
sends input(information) to acontrol center
2. Control Center assesses input; sends
output to effector(s)
3. Effector causes response, i.e.,
an effect which istriggered by output
-

For example :
Our bodies control body temperature in a similar
way.
The brain is the control center
The receptor is our body's temperature sensors,
And the effector is our blood vessels and sweatglands in our skin.

Pathways That Alter Homeostasis :
A variety of homeostatic mechanisms maintain the
internal environment within tolerable limits.
Either homeostasis is maintained through a series of
control mechanisms, or the body suffers various
illnesses or disease.
-

When the cells in your body begin to malfunction, thehomeostatic balance becomes disrupted.
Eventually this leads to disease or cell malfunction.
Disease and cellular malfunction can be caused in two
basic ways:
- defic iency(cells not getting all they need)
- tox ic i ty(cells being poisoned by things they do not
need).
-
8/22/2019 Controlling System Bloc 6 2011
18/43
When homeostasis is interrupted in your cells, there are
pathwaysto correct or worsen the problem.
In addition to the internal control mechanisms, there areexternal influences based primarily on lifestyle choices
and environmental exposures that influence our body's
ability to maintain cellular health.

1. Nutr i t ion :
If our diet is lacking in a specific vitamin or mineral,
our cells will function poorly, possibly resulting in a
disease condition.
2. Tox ins :
Any substance that interferes with cellular function,
causing cellular malfunction.
This is done through a variety of ways; chemical,
plant, insecticides, and or bites.

3. Psychological :
Our thoughts and emotions cause chemical changes totake place either for better as with meditation, or worseas with stress.
4. Physical:
Physical maintenance is essential for our cells andbodies.

5. Genetic :
Inheriting strengths and weaknesses can be part of our
genetic makeup.
Beginning at the cellular level a variety of diseases come
from mutated genes cancer
6. Medical:
Through modern medicine our bodies can be given
different aids -from anti-bodies to help fight infectionsor chemotherapy to kill harmful cancer cells.

1. Negative feedback--its function is to keep a
physiological level relatively constant through time.Example: Regulation of Blood Pressure
2. Positive feedback. The sign changes from - to +.In this case feedback, accelerates a process which has
already started.Example: Regulation of blood clotting
3. Feedforward mechanismsExample: GLP-1/ GIP and Insulin stimulation/ glucagon

Summaries :
The regulation of the amounts of water and minerals in the body.
This is known as osmoregulation. This happens primarily in thekidneys.
The removal of metabolic waste. This is known as excretion. Thisis done by the excretory organs such as the kidneys and lungs.
The regulation of body temperature. This is mainly done by theskin.
The regulation of blood glucose level. This is mainly done by theliver and the insulin and glucagon secreted by the pancreas in thebody.
Most of these organs are controlled by hormones secreted fromthe pituitary gland, which in turn is directed by the hypothalamus.
