OBJECTIVES:
1. Differentiate positive and negative
feedback mechanism
2. Outline the homeostatic control of
temperature regulation, osmotic balance
and glucose level regulation; and
3. Describe some disorders that result from
the disruption of homeostasis
Questions:
• What are shown in a report card?
• What is the purpose of a report card?
• To pass the subject, what grade must
you get? If you are running for
honors, what is the acceptable range
for your grades?
• How will you reach your target
grades?
Activity: A Balancing Act
1. Students should stand up and
balance themselves on one foot.
2. After one minute, put other foot
down.
3. Let them share with each other
what they experienced.
4. Take their resting pulse for 15
seconds.
Questions:
1. What do you feel standing on one
foot only?
2. How do you feel standing on both
feet?
3. What do you think will happen to
you if you stand on one foot
longer?
Activity: Jogging Time
Students will jog in place for 1
minute then take their pulse again
for 15 seconds. Multiply this by 4 to
have their pulse rate in 1 minute. Let
them share with each other what
they experienced.
Questions: Based On Your Activity
1. What do you observed with your
pulse after jogging for 1 minute?
2. What do you with your pulse after
jogging for 4 minutes?
3. What did you do to normalize you
pulse?
4. Why is there a need to normalize it?
Homeostasis…
• Is the same thing as dynamic
equilibrium
• Is what all your body systems are
working for
• Is necessary for life!!
• Much of homeostasis is getting
energy & ATP!!!
All organisms…
• Need to maintain homeostasis
• Some living things have an
easier time keeping
homeostasis
• Each organisms has its own
homeostatic “levels” that it
works optimally at
Ameobas…
• Need to maintain homeostasis
• Do not need any body systems
to maintain homeostasis
• Simply uses D/O/AT to get
what it needs across the cell
membrane
Plants…
• Need to maintain homeostasis
• Use various organs to
maintain homeostasis
• Roots bring minerals needed
• Guard cells open & closed to
maintain proper water levels
Humans…
• Need to maintain homeostasis
• Use all of our organ systems
• Endocrine and immune system
are very important here
Digestive System…
• Breaks down nutrients into
molecules small enough to
diffuse into the cells
• (HIRTH*) Nutrients in the cells
help maintain energy levels
*”How it relates to homeostasis”
Circulatory System…
• Carries gases and nutrients to
cells
• Removes gases and other
metabolic wastes from the cell
• Maintains proper blood
pressure and heart rate for
homeostasis
Circulatory System
(HIRTH)
• Maintain nutrients levels in
blood, as well as waste
product levels
• Maintain CO2 and O2 levels
(via BP and heart rate)
Respiratory System…
• Physical – supplies the oxygen
• **Breathe faster when you
have too much CO2 (not when
you need oxygen)
• Gas exchange occurs at the
alveoli (with RBC)
Respiratory System
(HIRTH)
• Maintain CO2 and O2 levels
(via increased breathing rate)
• Maintains proper oxygen
levels for cellular respiration to
occur
Excretory System…
• Removes metabolic wastes
Excretory System
(HIRTH)
• Maintain CO2 levels (via the
lungs)
• Maintains proper water levels
(via kidneys)
• Maintains glucose levels (via
kidneys)
Nervous System…
• Regulates your body via
various changes
• Works in close conjunction
with the endocrine system
• Creates “fast” changes
Nervous System
(HIRTH)
• Maintains proper body
temperature (via sweating)
Endocrine System…
• Regulates your body via
various changes
• Works in close conjunction
with the nervous system
• Creates “slow” changes
• Controlled by feedback
Endocrine System
(HIRTH)
• Maintains most the entire body
via hormones
• Maintains glucose levels via
insulin from the pancreas
• Maintains growth levels via the
pituitary gland
Reproductive System…
• Creates reproductive cells
(gametes) via meiosis
• In females, creates
environment for embryo to
develop
Reproductive System
(HIRTH)
• Tells the body when to produce
mature sex cells (via hormones)
• Maintains a viable environment
for the embryo (via hormones)
• Allows mother to “attend” to all
the embryos’ needs (via placenta
and diffusion)
Immune System…
• Primary defense against
pathogens (foreign
substances)
• Works in close conjunction
with the endocrine system and
nervous systems
Immune System
(HIRTH)
• White blood cells attack
pathogens
• WBC produce antibodies that
attack or mark the pathogen
(antibodies are antigen specific)
• Vaccinations “train” and help the
immune system remember
specific pathogens
WHAT IS HOMEOSTASIS?
• the maintenance of a
constant internal
environment in
response to changes
in:
– the changing conditions
of the external
environment.
– the changing conditions
of the internal
environment.
HOW IS HOMEOSTASIS
ACHIEVED?
structural:
the animal or plant has particular
physical features which help its
survival in an otherwise hostile
environment.
HOW IS HOMEOSTASIS
ACHIEVED?
functional:
the metabolism of the animal or plant is
able to adjust to changes in
conditions as they are detected.
HOW IS HOMEOSTASIS
ACHIEVED?
behavioral:
the actions and interactions of the
individual, either alone or with others,
help it to survive in its particular
environment.
Maintaining Homeostasis
through
Behavior Changes?
Examples of Homeostasis in Animals
HOMEOSTASIS
• Homeostasis involves dynamic
mechanisms that detect and respond to
deviations in physiological variables from
their “set point” values by initiating effector
responses that restore the variables to the
optimal physiological range.
