Document Summary

Physiology september 10: homeostasis, negative feedback loops, body fluid compartments, cell membrane structure, constantly interacting with the external environment. Distinguish between external & internal environments of the body respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system are constantly in contact with the environment. Homeostasis = a similar condition; ability of the body to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. Normal blood ph: 7. 38 7. 42 (may have diabetes if out of this range: help maintain homeostasis. At the gym, working out really hard, body temperature starts to rise, it will trigger an initial stimulus, a response will happen (sweat); a decreased stimulus will stop the initial stimulus and the loop shuts off. Control centre effector (furnace) controlled variable sensor. * effector initial action control center will turn off the effector. *thermostat in our body is the hypothalamus (the brain) *blood cells, capillaries, plasma is the first box.
