CORPORAL LIQUIDS
intracellular: inside cells
extracellular or internal environment: where we find the cells
-intersticial
-plasma
internal environment
constantly renewed by blood flow, so the communication between the external environment and cells is effective
has to be maintained in an equilibrium
homeostasis
-values that have to be maintained
maintenance of the constant values of the internal envorinmnet due to the coordinated action of physiological processes
-osmotic pressure
-partial pressure of O2 and CO2
-temperature
homeokinesis
capability of modifying the REFERENCE values to adapt better to different circumstances
for example: exercise and fever
It represents the dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment
feed-back systems
cycle of events where a giben value or condition is monitorised and feedback is sent to the control centre, which produces a response
it is formed by 3 elements : receptor, control centre + effector
negative: opposite response to the stimulus
positive: increases the stimulus
stimulus
alteration that changes the set values of a condition
