Homostasis Flashcards
Enzymes denaturing
If conditions are not optimal, then our enzymes can denature
This reduces their ability to catalyse metabolic reactions (chemical reactions)
Body conditions homeostasis regulate
Blood sugar
Temperature
Urea
Water
Carbon dioxide
Control system components
Receptors
Effectors
Co ordination centres
Receptors function
Detect change in environments
Effectors
Effectors carry out responses to stimuli that help to restore optimum levels
Coordination centres
Coordination centres receive and process information arriving from receptor cells
Negative feedback loop (too much water)
Receptors in the brain detect an increase in water level
Pituitary gland receives the information and Co ordinates a response
Pituitary gland releases more ADH
Kidneys reabsorb less water
