Ever wonder why you shiver, or why you sweat? Why do you pee or poop?

Or, breath out

CO2?
Why??
Why do you shiver?
Why do you sweat?
 To Regulate??
• Shiver and sweat: To
regulate/maintain Temperature of
your body
• Pee: To regulate/maintain stable
Water/salt/urea level of your body
• Poop: To regulate waste or undigested food
level
• Why EAT? Why breath?
 Kidneys???
Too much water…OUT!!(pee)
 Regulation
• rule, requirement
• managing, organizing

• RULES???
 WHY Regulation?????
• So all systems can work together to maintain
the STABLE conditions in your body….
• I mean to maintain HOMEOSTASIS!
(maintaining a stable or constant internal
environment)

How ???
By Control and coordination of
all the body systems
Coordination?
Working together in harmony
What happens if an organism fail to do
HOMEOSTASIS?
• Sickness
• Disease
 WHO in my body helps maintain
homeostasis?
• Who tells me to shiver, sweat, pee, poop, eat,
breath, drink….blah blah blah
• Brain?
• Yeah… for the most part, but it has
help!
 Parts that work with brain
• Well, there is spinal cord.
• And then, there are nerves going
everywhere,
• there are chemicals (like hormones,
neurotransmitters) acting as messengers
to inform brain, spinal cord, cells….
• So we call them the Chemical messengers
What are hormones, neurotransmitters commonly called?
 What is homeostatic regulation?

• Answer
• Homeostatic regulation is controlled in the body by
the autonomic nervous system and seeks to
maintain relatively stable conditions in the internal
environment.
The main gland of homeostasis is the hypothalamus
and the major organ of homeostasis are the
kidneys.
 
• NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
• Negative feedback is a process that happens when your
systems need to slow down or completely stop a process that
is happening. When you eat, food travels into your stomach,
and digestion begins. You don't need your stomach working if
you aren't eating. The digestive system works with a series of
hormones and nervous impulses to stop and start the
secretion of acids in your stomach. Another example of
negative feedback occurs when your body's temperature
begins to rise and a negative feedback response works to
counteract and stop the rise in temperature. Sweating is a
good example of negative feedback
• POSITIVE FEEDBACK
• Positive feedback is the opposite of negative feedback in that encourages
a physiological process or amplifies the action of a system. Positive
feedback is a cyclic process that can continue to amplify your body's
response to a stimulus until a negative feedback response takes over. An
example of positive feedback also can happen in your stomach. Your
stomach normally secretes a compound called pepsinogen that is an
inactive enzyme. As your body converts pepsinogen to the enzyme pepsin,
it triggers a process that helps convert other pepsinogen molecules to
pepsin. This cascade effect occurs and soon your stomach has enough
pepsin molecules to digest proteins.
• BODY TEMPERATURE EXAMPLE
• A good example of system regulation of your body can be found in the
regulation of body temperatures. You are a homoeothermic organism,
which means you regulate your own body temperature. Other species like
reptiles are not homoeothermic. Anyway, if your body gets too cold, a
series of actions are taken to warm your body. Sensors throughout your
nervous system can recognize when the temperature drops and might
trigger your muscular system to start shivering. The constant contractions
of your muscles allow heat to be generated. Your nervous and endocrine
systems may also contract the blood vessels of your circulatory system to
keep blood in the core of your body and not the extremities (like fingers).
