Homeostatis Flashcards
Homeostasis
is your body Maintaining a stable internal or external environment
Automatic control
our body is able to detect changes from its optimal condition then it sends signals to reverse that change
receptors
is what detects the change
coordination
which interpret that change and what needs to be done
effectors
which carries out the change this could be muscles contracting or glands releasing hormones
Nervous system
very fast and precise electrical impulses through which respond quickly
endocrine system
are hormones which travel through the blood stream through our entire body they tend to be slower
Urea
is a waste product that is produced by the liver it is the break down of proteins and amino acids and turns it into Urea. like if you have eaten to many amino acids some must be removed from your body
deamination
the removal of nitrogen containing part of amino acids to form urea
How Homeostasis works
.the hypothalamus ( Brain ) detects a change from the base line condition
. the receptors send a signal to the response tissue/ organ called the effectors
. these signals can be either neurological or chemical
. the effectors change the internal condition and returns them back to normal
