Steady State
Physiological variable is unchanging ,but not necessarily normal resting value
Steady state example
Heart rate during submaximal exercise
The maintained of a constant or unceasing normal internal environment during u stressed conditions
Homeostasis
-Protein breakdown and synthesis
- Energy Production
-Maintenance of stored nutrients
Intracellular Control System
Pulmonary and Circulatory Systems
Replenish oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
Organ systems
Biological Control System
Series of interconnected components that maintain a physical or chemical parameter at a near constant value
Detects changes in variable ( or stimulus )
Sensor or receptors
Assesses input and initiates response
Control Center
Changed internal environment back to normal
Effector
Components to biological control systems
Sensor or receptor
Control center
Effector
Response reverses the initial disturbance in homeostasis
Most control systems use this
Negative Feedback
How does exercise disrupt homeostasis
By change in ph , po2, pco2 and temperature in cells
Intense exercise or prolonged exercise in a hot/humid environment can what
Exceed the ability to maintain stead state
Ex. fatigue and cessation or exercise
Biological control systems are called of maintaining steady state true or false
True
What are two large gain control systems ( able to maintain homeostasis)
Pulmonary and Cardiovascular
Increase the original stimulus
Positive feedback
In child birth increase pressure on cervix = what
Increased oxytocin
Change in structure and function of cell or organ system results in approved homeostasis
Adaptation
Adaptation to environmental stresses ( heat stress) , results in improved function of homeostasis system
Acclimation
-Communication between cells using chemical. messengers
-coordinates cellular
- important for homeostasis
Cell signaling
Sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body two general categories of Chemical reactions
Metabolism
Synthesis of molecules
Anabolic reactions
Breakdown of molecules
Catabolic reactions
Process of converting foodstuffs ( fats , proteins, carbs) into usable energy for cell work
Bioenergetics
Semipermeable membrane that separates the cell from the extracellular environment
Cell membrane (sarcolemma of muscle fibers)
Contains genes that regulate protein synthesis
•Molecular biology
Nucleus
Fluid portion of cell
•Contains organelles
•Mitochondria
Cytoplasm (sarcoplasm)
Require energy to be added to the reactants.
Endergonic reactions (endothermic)
Release energy
Exergonic reactions (exothermic)
Liberation of energy in an exergonic reaction drives an endergonic reaction.
Coupled reactions.
The energy given off by the exergonic reaction powers the
Endergonic reaction
Removing an electron.
Oxidation
Addition of an electron
Reduction
*A molecule that loses electron is oxidized.
*A molecule that gains an electron is reduced.
Oxidation and reduction are always coupled reactions.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (N A D).
Role in electron transport
Oxidized form: N A D+.
Reduced form: N A D H.
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (F A D).
Role in electron transport
Oxidized form: F A D.
Reduced form: F A D H2.
What important role do Both N A D and F A D play an important role in transfer of electrons.
Carrier molecules during bioenergetic reactions.
NADH is a ______ agent; it reduces pyruvic acid by giving its hydrogen ions.
reducing
NADH becomes_____ to NAD.
oxidized
The addition of_______ H+ to pyruvic acid forms NAD and lactic acid
two
Catalysts that regulate the speed of reactions
Lower the energy of activation (energy needed to “get started”)
Enzymes
Do not “cause” reactions, but regulate the speed at which they occur
Enzymes
Factors that regulate enzyme activity
Temperature
•pH
•Each enzyme has an optimal temperature & pH
Interact with specific substrates by
Lock and key model
