Homeostasis Concept and Regulation
Specific learning outcomes �Define homeostasis. �Explain the concept of Homeostasis and its consequences on the human body
Internal environment Claude Bernarde introduced the term internal environment / Milieu interieur for ECF of the body � Body cells essentially depends on ECF for maintenance of cellular life �
Homeostasis W B Cannon (constancy of the internal environment is maintained and ensured) � Living membranes with varying permeability's such as vascular endothelium and cell membrane play important role �
Factors involved in maintenance of homeostasis �Maintenance of p. H of ECF (acid base balance) �Regulation of temperature �Maintenance of water and electrolyte balance �Supply of nutrients, oxygen, enzymes and hormones �Removal of metabolic and other waste products
Role of different systems of the body in homeostasis �Transport of ECF : Circulatory system for continually being mixed and maintaining homogeneity �Supply of oxygen and nutrients to ECF: must for growth of tissue, respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, MSK system ◦ Hormones play role in metabolism of nutrients and other substances
�Removal of metabolic end products and waste: kidneys, respiratory system for removal of carbon dioxide from the body �Water and electrolyte balance: combined efforts of kidney, skin, lungs, salivary secretion, and digestive system �PH of blood and acid base balance: respiratory system, kidneys, blood and buffer systems in the body
�Temperature : combined efforts of skin, cvs, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory system, skeletal muscle system and nervous system �Regulation of body functions: nervous system and hormonal system
Mode of action of homeostatic control system �Feedback mechanism ◦ Positive feedback ◦ Negative feedback �Adaptive control system
Negative feedback mechanism �Most control system of body act by this. �When activity of particular system increases or decreases, it initiates a negative feedback so as to return towards normal
Examples �When BP suddenly rises or lowers, it initiates a series of reactions that tries to bring the BP to normal levels �When thyroxin secretion is more, it inhibits the secretion of TSH from pituitary so that thyroxin is not secreted from thyroid gland
Positive feedback mechanism �Some times causes vicious circle and harmful �Mild degree of feedback can be overcome by negative feedback mechanism, and vicious cycle fails to develop
Positive feedback mechanism causing death
Positive feedback mechanism which are useful �Child birth during labour is facilitated by progressive increasing uterine contractions due to positive feedback from stretching of cervix by head of the baby �Clot formation following rupture of vessels is accelerated by vicious cycle of thrombin formation which stops bleeding
Parturition reflex
Adaptive control system �Delayed type of negative feedback mechanism seen in nervous system �Example: when some movements of body occurs very rapidly, there is no enough time for nerve signals to travel from peripheral parts of body to brain and then back to periphery again to control movement
�In such conditions, brain uses feed forward control to cause required muscle contraction �Which retrospectively is conveyed to brain by sensory nerve signals from moving part �If movement performed is incorrect, then brain corrects the feed forward signals that it sends to muscle the next time the movement is required
