Q

what is negative feedback?

Study These Flashcards
A

when the regulated variable is disturbed and the system restores it towards the set point

20
Q

what does the brainstem control?(4)

Study These Flashcards
A

Breathing
Heart rate
Blood pressure
Chemo-sensors C02

21
Q

what does the hypothalamus control? (2)

Study These Flashcards
A

Temperature control
Water balance (through
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

22
Q

what does Pituitary Gland release/do?

Study These Flashcards
A

adh to regulate water balance in kidney

23
Q

what does adrenal gland do/ release?

Study These Flashcards
A

aldosterone to regulate NA+ and K+ levels

24
Q

what does thyroid do/release?

Study These Flashcards
A

thyroid hormones to control metabolism

25
what does pancreas release/ do?
insluin lowers blood glucose levels
26
what does parathyroid glands do?
increases calcium levels
27
what does calcitonin do?
decreases calcium levels.
28
define stimulus
a change in a external/ internal eviroment that triggers a response
29
define receptor
detects a change in the system and then sends a message to the control centre
30
define control centre
recieves information from receptor and processes it and sends message to effector
31
define effector
recieves information from receptor and carries out a response
32
themoregulation when temp increases list the 5 steps
body temperture is warmer than hypothalamic set point activates heat loss centres in hypothalamus blood vessels dilate and the capillaries flushes warm blood to the surface of the skin. heat radiates to skin surface sweat glands produced which vapourises helps cool the body. body temperture decreases and heat loss centres shut off.
33
themoregulation when temp decreases list the 5 steps
body temperture is cooler than hypothalamic set point activates heat promoting centres in hypothalamus blood vessels constrict and diverts from skin to capillaries minimizing heat loss sketelal muscle actiavted when more is generated. body temperture increases and heat promoting centres shut off.
34
define osmolarity
the amount of solutes dissolved in blood
35
effects of hyperglycemia (3)
damages nerves,kidneys, eyes
36
effects of hypogylciema
damages brain leads to coma
37
explain how dehyration happens? (3)
increase blood solutes increase concentration solutes decreases water in blood
38
define isotonic
where the concentration dissolved particles on the inside of cell is equal as the out of the cell
39
define hypertonic
the outside of the cell is higher than inside of cell
40
what causes a cell to be hypertonic? (3)
3% saline, 50% dextrose and dehyration
41
define hypotonic
where the inside of the cell has a higher concentration then outside of cell
42
what can cause a cell to be hypotonic
sereve loss of electrolytes or inapporiate use of iv
43
define postive feedback
when a change in the body triggers a reponse which then amplifies change and pushes away from its from its set point.
44
step by step of labour doing postive feedback
baby pushes head towards cervix the streching of cervix is controlled by the nerve recpetors which then send a message to the brain where thehypothalamus signals to the pituarty gland to release oxytocin into bloodstream and oxytocin causes a stronger contraction of the smooth mcucles of the uterus
45
clotting (2)
blood vessels are injured produces more plateles to start clotting untill bleeding stops
46
high blood glcuose
high glucose level pancreas detects the increased blood glucose levels through alpha beta cells the pancreas releases insulin Insulin acts on body cells signaling them to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. It also prompts the liver to store excess glucose as glycogen. Blood glucose levels decrease as glucose is absorbed into the cells or stored in the liver, returning blood glucose levels to normal.
47
low blood glucose levels
Blood glucose levels drop pancreas detects the decrease in blood glucose levels. the pancreas releases glucagon, a hormone that works to raise blood glucose levels. Effector: Glucagon signals the liver to break down stored glycogen into glucose (a process called glycogenolysis) and release it into the bloodstream. Blood glucose levels rise as glucose is released from the liver, restoring normal blood glucose level
