There are two approaches to explaining events that occur in the body: one
emphasizing the purpose of a body process and the other the underlying
mechanism by which this process occurs.
Physiologists, however, explain “how” processes occur in the body. They view
the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can be explained in terms
of cause-and-effect sequences of physical and chemical processes—the same
types of processes that occur throughout the universe.
For example, the heart is well designed to receive and pump blood, the teeth to tear and grind
food, and the hinge-like elbow joint to permit bending of the arm
In other situations, the interdependence of form and function is more subtle but equally
important
Consider the interface between air and blood in the lungs as an example: The respiratory
airways, which carry air from the outside into the lungs, branch extensively when they reach the
lungs. Tiny air sacs cluster at the ends of the huge number of airway branches. The branching is
so extensive that the lungs contain about 300 million air sacs. Similarly, the vessels carrying
blood into the lungs branch extensively and form dense networks of small vessels that encircle
each air sac
Secretion is the release from a cell, in response to appropriate stimulation, of specific products that have
been produced by the cell.
1. Exocrine glands secrete through ducts to the outside of the body (or into a cavity that communicates
with the outside) (exo means “external”; crine means “secretion”)
If, in contrast, the connecting cells disappear during development and the secretory gland cells are isolated
from the surface, an endocrine gland is formed.
2. Endocrine glands lack ducts and release their secretory products, known as hormones, internally into the
blood (endo means “internal”)

DEFINISI HOMEOSTASIS
If each cell has basic survival skills, why can’t the body’s cells live without performing specialized tasks and being
organized according to specialization into systems that accomplish functions essential for the whole organism’s
survival?
The cells in a multicellular organism cannot live and function without contributions from the other body cells because
the vast majority of cells are not in direct contact with the external environment.
Homeostasis (homeo means “the same”; stasis means “to stand or stay”) → the condition of equilibrium (balance) in
the body’s internal environment due to the constant interaction of the body’s many regulatory processes
a dynamic steady state of the constituents in the internal fluid environment (the extracellular fluid) that surrounds and
exchanges materials with the cells.
Maintenance of homeostasis is essential for the survival and normal functioning of cells. Each cell, through its
specialized activities, contributes as part of a body system to the maintenance of homeostasis.

2. Concentration of O2 and CO2. Cells need O2 to carry out energy-yielding chemical reactions. The CO2
produced during these reactions must be removed so that acid-forming CO2 does not increase the acidity of
the internal environment.
3. Concentration of waste products. Some chemical reactions produce end products that have a toxic effect
on the body’s cells if these wastes are allowed to accumulate.
4. pH. Changes in the pH of the ECF adversely affect nerve cell function and wreak havoc with the enzyme
activity of all cells.
6. Volume and pressure. The circulating component of the internal environment, the plasma, must be maintained
at adequate volume and blood pressure to ensure body-wide distribution of this important link between the
external environment and the cells.
7. Temperature. Body cells function best within a narrow temperature range. If cells are too cold, their functions
slow down too much; if they get too hot, their structural and enzymatic proteins are impaired or destroyed.
(1) detect deviations from normal in the internal environmental factor that needs to be held within narrow
limits;
(2) integrate this information with any other relevant information; and
(3) make appropriate adjustments in the activity of the body parts responsible for restoring this factor to its
desired value.
For example, as an exercising skeletal muscle rapidly uses up O2 to generate energy to support
its contractile activity, the O2 concentration within the muscle falls.
B. Extrinsic, or systemic, controls, which are regulatory mechanisms initiated outside an organ
to alter the organ’s activity (extrinsic means “outside of ”).
Extrinsic control of the organs and body systems is accomplished by the nervous and endocrine
systems, the two major regulatory systems.
The term feedback refers to responses made after a change has been detected.
That is, a corrective adjustment opposes the original deviation from the normal desired level.
