Macronutrients (Carbohyrates, Protein, Fat) Oxygen Stanbridge 2023 23 Survival Needs Marieb, 2019 Water Normal body temperature Core temperature Appropriate atmospheric pressure Pressure exerted by the weight of air (760 mmHg) Stanbridge 2023 24 Homeostasis Homeostasis or “staying the same” Maintenance of relatively stable conditions Dynamic (changeable) state of equilibrium Maintained by contributions of all organ systems Accomplished by feedback loops Stanbridge 2023 25 Feedback Loops Negative Feedback Loops Maintains homeostasis and is more stable Positive Feedback Loops Away from homeostasis and more unstable Stanbridge 2023 26 Negative Feedback Loops most common Receptor: monitors environment Responds to stimuli → sends information to the control center via the afferent pathway Control Center: determines set point or acceptable range Analyzes input and determines response → sends information to the effector via the efferent pathway Effector: follows response from control center Examples: blood glucose regulation, body temperature Stanbridge 2023 27 Negative Feedback Loops most common Afferent pathway (“approach” control center) Sensory nerves Toward central nervous system Efferent pathway (“exit” control center) Motor nerves Away (exit) from central nervous system Stanbridge 2023 28 Marieb, 2019 Stanbridge 2023 29 Negative Feedback Loops most common Step 1 = Body’s physiology moves out of balance (e.g., Body temperature rises) Step 2 = Body recognizes unbalance or change (e.g., Receptors in the nervous system) Step 3 = Body sends a command to an “effector” organ to address the unbalance (e.g., Nervous system tells sweat glands to sweat) Step 4 = Balance is restored and process is signaled to shut off (e.g., Stop sweating) Stanbridge 2023 30 Marieb, 2019 Stanbridge 2023 31 Marieb, 2019 Stanbridge 2023 32 Marieb, 2019 Stanbridge 2023 33 Positive Feedback Loop Less Common Response Enhances or exaggerates original stimulus May exhibit a cascade or amplifying effect Usually controls infrequent events that do not require continuous adjustment Examples: childbirth, blood clotting, lactation Stanbridge 2023 34 Marieb, 2019 Stanbridge 2023 35 Comparison of Feedback Loops Negative feedback loop The output reduces the original effect of the stimulus Positive feedback loop The output enhances the original stimulus Stanbridge 2023 36 Homeostatic Imbalance Most diseases are a result of a disturbance of homeostasis or from homeostatic imbalance Examples: Increasing age → less efficient body systems → increased risk of homeostatic imbalance If negative feedback loops become less active in a process compared to positive feedback loops Stanbridge 2023 37 BODY CAVITIES Stanbridge 2023 38 Body Cavities Marieb, 2019 Many organs are

extracellularly: Membrane lipids with sugars attached are called glycolipids Membrane proteins with sugars attached are called glycoproteins Glycocalyx are the sugars (important marked for identity of the cell) Stanbridge 2023 104 Membrane Proteins Integral proteins: Attached to membrane, some stick out one side of the membrane but most span entire membrane and stick out both sides Some form channels in membrane or act as carriers, receptors, enzymes Peripheral proteins: Attached to integral proteins or to the membrane itself, inside cell Support cell structure, enzymes, link cells
