Muscles can act on what joints?
Only joints they cross over
Homeostasis
Homeo - same
Stasis - standing still
Homeostasis defined
The condition of equilibrium, or balance in the body’s internal and external environment, which remains relatively constant.
Maintained within the body by using a feedback mechanism.
Body’s internal environment
We are a bag of fluid
Important aspect of homeostasis is by regulating it’s body fluid: volume and composition
Feedback mechanism
Negative and positive
Actions/ mechanism that keep us in balance
Triggered by a stimulus or change in our environment
Receptors detect change
Body reacts
+ (positive) = increase
- (negative) = decrease
Positive Feedback mechanisms
Stimulators
Feedback increases the stimulus until something stops the process
Example: Giving birth
Negative feedback mechanisms
Primary feedback mechanism
Inhibitory
Feedback triggers mechanism to stop stimulus (in the opposite direction)
Example: Change in temperature or blood pressure
Homeostasis regulates
How much fluid there is
Where the fluids needs to be
And what’s in it
