Homeostasis
Maintenance of constant internal environment in an organism
homeostasis process
1. osmoregulation 2. excrete metabolic wastes
Osmoregulation
is the homeostatic control of the uptake and loss or water and solutes such as salt and other ions
water loss in terrestrial animals
evaporation, sweat, urination, defecation
water gain in terrestrial animals
salts , drinking and eating
water gain/loss in aquatic animals?
*Freshwater organisms excrete water, conserve ions. *Marine species conserve water, excrete ions.
Excretion
*Removes metabolic waste * Removes Ammonia(toxic)
Removal of ammonia in aquatic animals
Forms in cells and diffuses out into water
Removal of ammonia in terrestrial animals
Convert it to urea or uric acid
Osmoregulation Process
1.Filtration 2.Reabsorption 3.Secretion 4.Elimination
Metanephridium
a type of excretory tubule with internal openings called nephrostomes that collect body fluids and external openings called nephridiospores.
Protonephridium
An excretory system, such as the flame bulb system of flatworms, consisting of a network of tubes lacking internal openings.
Vertebrate kidney purpose's
1.osmoregulation 2.excrete
Nephron
-Nephron is functional unit of kidney -Blood enters nephron by blood pressure in glomerulus and is filtered through Bowman’s capsule -Fluid is called filtrate -Water and small molecules pass into proximal tubule -filtrate passes through loop of Henle, then distal -filtrate empties in…
Homeostasis detailed steps
1.Filtration- Blood in glomerulus forces fluid into bowmans capsule. ECM acts as selective filter. 2.Reabsorption- takes back "good stuff" through proximal Tubule 3.Secretion of toxins from blood into filtrate(ammonia , toxins, drugs) 4.Loop of Henle- Adaptation for water retention (bi…
ADH
Antidiuretic Hormone Vasopressin: controlls permeability
Cell Surface receptor
Signal Transduction H20 soluble
intracellular receptor
regulation of gene expression Lipid Soluble
Endocrine cells and glands
secrete hormones
Diuresis
increased urine production
ADH concentration high?
Collecting Duct permeability High
ADH concentration low
collecting duct permeability decreases
Less ADH released when? and what happens?
*consume excess water *Alcohol and caffeine (inhibit ADH release) *and More urine produced
More ADh released when? and what happens?
* Excessive water loss * osmolarity increases *Water retained and returned to blood
Negative Feedback
Response to a change in a variable which reverses direction of the change. (set point = desired value) example. Exercise produces heat ; exercise produces CO2)
Circulatory System (fluid transport system)
contains 1.BVS 2.Lymph system purpose Respiration and excretion
Chambered heart components
Atrium Ventricle Arteries Arterioles Veins Venules Capillaries
Atrium
Receives Blood sends to Ventricle
Ventricle
Takes blood to respiratory surface and organs
Arteries & Arterioles
Takes blood away from heart
Veins and Venules
takes blood to heart
Capillaries
Sites of substance exchange
Circulation of fish
Single circuit
Circulation in Amphibians , reptiles and mammals
Double circulation
Heart
Pump cardian muscle
heart stimulation?
systole - contraction Diastole- Relaxtion
Whats in blood?
Plasma Red and white B.C Platelets
Plasma Red and white B.C Platelets
90% water plasma proteins(clotting proteins) glucose ions enzymes antibodies hormones gases wastes
Red Blood Cells
Contain hemoglobin. carries oxygen called erythrocytes.
Platelets
cell fragments
white blood cells
defensive cells Phagocytes & specialized immune system cells
where are blood cells produced
in bone marrow
Sinoatrial node
Muscle tissue ; sets rate of contractions.
Hormones and nerves regulate what?
beat rate of heart
heart attack
myocardial infarction - death of cardiac muscle
stroke
death of nervous tissue in brain
2 types of reasons for strokes
Ischemic- Blockage Hemorrhagic- Breakage
Atherosclerosis
chronic cardiovascular disease; plaque build up
plaques
block arteries can lead to heart attack
hypertension
(high blood pressure) promotes atherosclerosis and increases risk of heart attack and stroke
damage to vessel lining can trigger?
plaque formation
Low density Lipoproteins
bad cholesterol build up of cholesterol in plaques (transports to tissue)
high Density lipoproteins
Good cholesterol (reduce LDL) transports to liver
exercise
increases HDL concentration. Inhibits LBD
