HomeostasisHomeostasis Maintaining constant internal conditionsMaintaining constant internal conditions

– Ex. Blood pH, body tempEx. Blood pH, body temp

•Homeostatic Control Mechanisms – monitors aspects of the internal environment & corrects as needed. Variations are within limits.

•There are three (3) parts:•Receptor •Control Center•Effector

Structure of Feedback Structure of Feedback LoopLoop

ReceptorReceptor = = senses change; senses change; provides info about change to provides info about change to control centercontrol center

Control Center/IntegratorControl Center/Integrator = = control center that responds;control center that responds; tells tells what a particular value should be what a particular value should be (called the set point)(called the set point)

EffectorEffector = = structures that restore structures that restore homeostasis; elicits responses that homeostasis; elicits responses that change conditions in the internal change conditions in the internal environmentenvironment

Negative feedback summary:

• Prevents sudden, severe changes in body

• Reduces the actions of the effectors

• Corrects the set point

• Causes opposite of bodily disruption to occur, i.e. the ‘negative’

• Limits chaos in the body by creating stability

• Most common type of feedback loop

• Examples: body temperature, blood pressure & glucose regulation

Type 2:Type 2:– Positive FeedbackPositive Feedback

• Self-amplifying change– leads to change in the same

direction• Normal way of producing rapid

changes – occurs with childbirth, blood clotting, protein digestion,

& generation of nerve signals

Homeostatic Control Homeostatic Control MechanismsMechanisms

Positive feedback summary:

• Increases (accelerates) actions of body

• Produces more instability in body

• Produces more chaos in body

• There are only a few types necessary for our survival

• Positive feedback mechanisms are short-lived

• Controls only infrequent events that do not require continuous adjustments

• Considered to be the uncommon loop

• Examples: blood clotting & child birth
