Importance of Homeostasis Importance of Homeostasis in Mammalsin Mammals
metabolic reactions are controlled by enzymes
enzymes work best in a narrow range of temperature & pH only
∴important to keep internal environment as steady as possible

Definition: Keeping the internal environment in a Steady state
It is controlled by Negative Feedback Mechanism

Parts of Body involvedParts of Body involved• kidneys : • regulate water & mineral salts
concentration• skin : • regulate body temperature
• liver & pancreas :• regulate blood glucose level

1. Osmoregulation (Water & 1. Osmoregulation (Water & Mineral salts)Mineral salts)
•Regulate water potential in Tissue Fluid•Organ involved: KIDNEYS

• After having a very salty mealproduce concentrated urine to
remove excess salts in solution formextra water is needed to be excreted
along with the excess saltssensation of thirst (drink more water
to compensate for the water loss)

2. Thermoregulation (Regulation 2. Thermoregulation (Regulation of Body Temperature)of Body Temperature)
• Homoiotherms (warm-blooded animals) • keep body temperature constant even in winter by increasing metabolic rate• e.g. birds, mammals

3. Regulation of Blood 3. Regulation of Blood Glucose LevelGlucose Level
controlled by Negative feedback mechanism
controlled by insulin secreted from the islets of Langerhans in pancreas
Diabetes - malfunction of pancreas (does not secrete enough insulin)

Endocrine Overview• Hormones- chemical
messengers travel through body• Target cell or organ- organ
or cells that a hormone affects

Control of Hormone Release• Negative feedback mechanism- hormone
release is triggered by stimulus, rising levels of hormone inhibit further release• Endocrine stimuli-• Hormonal- hormones stimulate the
release of others• Humoral- blood stimulates release of
hormones• Neural- nerves stimulate hormone
release
