Function
HOMEOSTASIS
Homeo = same, Stasis = Still
 Maintain a stable internal environment
 e.g. Body temperature (98.6°), Heart rate (72beats/min), pH balance
 Consumes most metabolic energy of all processes
REQUIRMENTS FOR HOMEOSTASIS
 1. Receptors – Provide information about environment
 Thermoreceptors –detect temperature
 2. Control Center with Set point
 Control Center = sets the range at which the value is maintained
 Hypothalamus = Control Center
 Set point = range of values
 98.6°F = set point
 3. Effectors
 Muscles or glands
 Responds to input from control center
 Alters conditions
 e.g. Sweat glands secrete sweat to cool body
Example of Homeostatic Mechanism
EXAMPLES
Example of Homeostatic Mechanism
 Stimulus = hot environment → Body temperature increases →
Detected by thermoreceptors (receptors) → info into hypothalamus (control center)
→ Hypothalamus detects deviation from body temp (set point) →
output signal to sweat glands (effectors) → Sweat glands secrete sweat →
response = body temp cools → Stimulus decreases
HOMEOSTASIS
TWO TYPES OF FEEDBACK
Negative Feedback = response to decrease the deviation from a set point
 Most homeostatic mechanisms rely on negative feedback
Positive Feedback = response to increase deviation from set point
 Short lived and uncommon
 e.g. Child birth

MOVEMENTS
Passive = requires no energy from cell
Active = requires energy from cell in form of ATP
Passive Movements
 Diffusion
 Random movement of molecules from higher to lower concentration
 Molecules tend to diffuse = become evenly distributed
 Requirements:
 Cell membrane must be permeable to substance (small & nonpolar)
 e.g. CO2, O2, Steroids
 A concentration gradient must exist across membrane
 One side of cell membrane must have a greater concentration than the other
 Facilitated Diffusion
 Diffusion with the aid of a carrier protein
