Obtaining oxygen, removing carbon dioxide,

and releasing energy from foods.

Break-down and absorption of nutrients

Absorption

Passage of substances through membranes

into body fluids

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Survival Needs

Food

Chemicals for energy and cell building

Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,

vitamins, and minerals

Oxygen

Required for chemical reactions

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Survival Needs

Water

60–80% of body weight

Provides for metabolic reaction

Circulation

Maintain body temperature

Stable body temperature

Atmospheric pressure

Must be appropriate

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Homeostasis

Homeostasis—maintenance of a stable internal

environment

A dynamic state of equilibrium

Homeostasis is necessary for normal body

functioning and to sustain life

Homeostatic imbalance

A disturbance in homeostasis resulting in

disease

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Feedback Mechanisms

Negative feedback

Includes most homeostatic control

mechanisms

Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces its

intensity

Works like a household thermostat

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Feedback systems Cycle of events in which the status of a body

condition is continually monitored, evaluated, changed, re-monitored, reevaluated, and so on…..

5 components – stimulus, receptor, control center, effector, response

Stimulus – a change occurs in the environment

Receptor monitors changes and inputs info (nerve endings)

Control center determines the “normal” range, evaluates detected changes and outputs commands (brain)

Effector is the body structure that receives output from control center and produces a response (sweat glands)

Response is produced by effector

Maintaining Homeostasis

The body communicates through neural and

hormonal control systems

Receptor

Responds to changes in the environment

(stimuli)

Sends information to control center

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Maintaining Homeostasis

Control center

Determines set point

Analyzes information

Determines appropriate response

Effector

Provides a means for response to the

stimulus

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Feedback Mechanisms

Positive feedback

Increases the original stimulus to push the

variable farther

In the body this only occurs in blood clotting

and during the birth of a baby

The Language of Anatomy

Special terminology is used to prevent

misunderstanding

Exact terms are used for

Position

Direction

(or organ) into equal left and right parts
