Homeostatic regulation of blood pressure by a negative feedback system the response is fed back into the system‚ and the system continues to lower blood pressure until there is a return to normal blood pressure (homeostasis). A negative feedback system or loop reverses a change in a controlled

Chapter 1 Overview Notes: You are to read the text’s chapter and look through the Powerpoint notes on Blackboard as well. Anatomy literally means “to cut” – tomy and “apart” – ana‚ since in the early days anatomists used cadavers to cut apart and see inside. Physiology literally means the “study of nature” so we study the nature or functions of the body systems. We have to understand that the structure of any body part – muscle cell contracts the organ‚ protein fibers contract the muscle

INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY AND HOMEOSTATIS PHYSIOLOGY 1.1 Intro to Physiology Physiology: the study of the functions of living things‚ how the human body works Two approaches explain the events that occur in body -purpose of the body process - mechanism in which the process occurs Physiologists view the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can explained in terms of cause and effect sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

Homeostasis Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes. It is involved in the maintenance of the constant internal environment which includes the function of kidney‚ liver‚ skin‚ etc. In humans‚ homeostasis happens when the body regulates body temperature in an effort to maintain an internal temperature around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. For example‚ we sweat to

referred to as homeostasis (Waugh and Grant 2010). Claude Bernard was a 19th century French physiologist who first discovered the concept of homeostasis. But it was Walter Cannon‚ a 20th century American physiologist who devised the word “homeostasis” (Marieb and Hoehn 2007). Temperature‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ water and electrolyte concentration and blood glucose levels are the most important physiological variables maintained by homeostatic mechanisms (Waugh and Grant 2010).).
