Perfectly
25
receives the stimulus signal and relays input signal or information about the change
Sensor
26
maintains set point conditions and relays signal via efferent pathway and sends signals to effectors
Feedback controller
27
causes the reversal in biological system to normal range
Effectors
28
the desired value of the control system
Set point value
29
difference between input signal from sensor and set point which generates signal to effector to bring back to normal range
Error Signal
30
Cooling signal in the brain
hypothalamus (anterior)
31
the heat conservation/ production center of the brain
posterior hypothalamus
32
adrenal medulla or glands releases this when body is cold
epinephrine
33
controls skin temperature
peripheral thermoreceptors
34
core temperature
central thermoreceptors
35
this organ monitorsblood glucose concentration
Pancreas
36
glucose sensing mechanisms
islet of langerhans or endocrine cells
37
Endocrine Beta
secretes insulin
38
endocrine alpha
secretes glucagon
39
the sensor of blood pressure homeostatic
baroreceptor
40
feedback controller of blood pressure
mudulla oblangata
41
effectors of blood pressure
heart, blood vessels
42
the catalysis is stopped by the end product
END OF PRODUCT INHIBITION
43
this response amplifies the variable change
positive feedback
44
examples of postive feedback
childbirth blood clotting ovulation neuron activation
45
commands anticipated before they happen
feedforward control
46
the heart rate increases before the onset of exercise
ex. of feedforward control
47
complex types of control systems
1. adaptive 2. feedforward system 3. chronic adaptation (exercise physio) 4. acclimization (environmental physio)
48
this organ controls blood glucose concentrations
pancreas
49
what is the level of sugar after a meal or in the morning
120-140mg/dl
50
what does Beta cells secrete
Insulin
51
what is the function of insulin
IT LOWERS BLOOD GLUCOSE ESPECIALLY AFTER A MEAL IT FACILITATES GLUCOSE TRANSPORT IT FACILITATES GLUCOSE STORAGE IN THE LIVER AS GLYCOGEN IT SERVES AS A FEEDBACK CONTROLLER WHICH ACTIVATES THE RELEASEOF INSULIN TO THE BLOODSTREAM
52
what does alpha cells secrete
glucagon
53
what is the function of glucagon
FACILITATES GLYCOGEN METABOLISM TO GLUCOSE INCREASING PLASMA GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION
54
normal fatsing blood sugar level
70-100
55
when glucagon falls below set point what happens
pancreatic endocrine cells act as sensors alpha cells secrete glucagon (feedback controllers) gulacagon is in the blood stream - error signal
56
CONTROLS THE DEGREE OF CONSTRICTION OF BLOOD
vasomotor centers
57
what elevates when there is activity in the body
blood pressure
58
what sensors detect elevated bp
PECIALIZED NERVE ENDINGS OF ARTERIAL WALLS IN THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM) WHICH IS BARORECEPTOR
59
THE BRAIN (MEDULLA OBLONGATA) OR HEART CONTROLLERS
CAA- CARDIO ACCELERATORY AREA WHICH INCREASES THE PUMPING ACTIVITY ; CIA- CARDIO INHIBITORY AREA ) AND SERVES AS THE FEEDBACK CONTROLLER
60
TO DIMINISH THE PUMPING OF THE HEART AND INCREASE BLOOD VESSELS VASODILATION
DECREASES THE ACTIVITY OF THE SYPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM | INCREASES THE ACTIVITY OF THE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
61
CHILDBIRTH NEGATIVE FEEDBACK?
no. it is positive
62
Positive feedback
a process in which the end products of an action cause more of that action to occur in a feedback loop
63
VASCULAR SPASMS OCCUR WHEN THERE IS A BREAK OR TEAR IN THE BLOOD VESSEL WALLS - done by platelets can cause if not stopped by negative feedback
Blood clotting
64
major loss of blood (2L) - negative feedback of drop of bp via baroreceptor - decreased cardiovascular pump - heart continues to weaken if lose not stopped till cardiac
MASSIVE BLEEDING
65
INVOLVES CENTRALLY GENERATED FEEDFORWARD COMMAND SIGNALS TO THE MOTOR SYSTEM AND OTHER CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR RESPIRATORY, CARDIOVASCULAR ADJUSTMENTS, THERMAL IGNITION, MOBILIZATION/ UTILIZATION OF ENERGY RESERVES
FEEDFORWARD CONTROL
66
COMMAND SIGNAL IS GENERATED FROM THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
FEEDFORWARD CONTROL
67
DELAYED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK CONTROL | IT IS THE INTERACTION OF FEEDFORWARD AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS
ADAPTIVE CONTROL
68
ENDURANCE TYPE ATHLETES: IMPROVED AEROBIC CAPACITIES OF SKELETAL MUSCLES RESISTANCE OR SPRINT TYPE ATHLETES: IMPROVED ANAEROBIC CAPACITIES OF SKELETAL MUSCLES
BIOCHEMICAL ADAPTATIONS IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
69
ANATOMICAL CHANGES IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
MUSCLE HYPERTROPHY: SKELETAL MUSCLES AND CARDIAC MUSCLE HYPERTROPHY
70
INVOLVES PHYSIOLOGIC ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, PHOTOPERIOD, OR PH, ALLOWING IT TO MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE ACROSS A RANGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION
ACCLIMATIZATION
71
a sensory receptor primarily found in the hypothalamus o
osmoreceptors
72
Fick's Law
Rate of diffusion ∝ surface area × concentration difference thickness of membrane. ∝ means 'is proportional to'. DIRECTLT PROPORTIUONAL TO
73
Inactivation of the sodium-potassium pump (Na, | K-ATPase) will cause:
An increase in the intracellular volume
74
In Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium
The combination of electrical charge and chemical concentration gradient across a membrane are in balance
75
Symporter
glucose is transported inside the membrane through a sodium/glucose transporter. What sort of transporter is it?
