Concept Map Group 2

Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes. Receptors detect changes in physiological variables like temperature and blood pressure. Control centers like the brain receive this information from receptors and determine an appropriate response. Effectors such as muscles and glands then enact changes to restore the variable to its optimal range and maintain homeostasis.

HOMEOSTASIS
HOMEOSTASIS

HOMEOSTASIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL BIOLOGICAL CONCEPT THAT REFERS


TO THE BODY'S ABILITY TO REGULATE AND MAINTAIN A STABLE
INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT DESPITE EXTERNAL CHANGES.

RECEPTORS MAIN
3 MAIN EFFECTORS
RECEPTORS ARE SPECIALIZED STRUCTURES OR CELLS
THAT DETECT CHANGES IN THE INTERNAL
COMPONENTS
COMPONENTS EFFECTORS ARE MUSCLES, GLANDS, OR OTHER CELLS
THAT CARRY OUT THE RESPONSE DETERMINED BY THE
ENVIRONMENT OF THE BODY. THEY ACT AS SENSORS, CONTROL CENTER. THEY ENACT CHANGES THAT HELP
CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING VARIOUS RESTORE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLE TO ITS OPTIMAL
PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, RANGE.
BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS, PH, AND
MORE. CONTROL CENTERS
CONTROL CENTERS ARE OFTEN LOCATED IN THE BRAIN OR OTHER
SPECIFIC ORGANS, AND THEY RECEIVE THE INFORMATION SENT BY THE
RECEPTORS. THESE CONTROL CENTERS PROCESS THE INFORMATION
MECHANORECEPTORS AND DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO MAINTAIN
HOMEOSTASIS.
CHEMORECEPTORS
PHOTORECEPTORS
THERMORECEPTORS
RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN CENTER
RESPIRATORY CENTER
WHAT IS HOMEOSTASIS SO IMPORTANT?
HOMEOSTASIS MAINTAINS OPTIMAL CONDITIONS
FOR ENZYME ACTION THROUGHOUT THE BODY, AS
WELL AS ALL CELL FUNCTIONS. IT IS THE
MAINTENANCE OF A CONSTANT INTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT DESPITE CHANGES IN INTERNAL
AND EXTERNAL CONDITIONS. IN THE HUMAN BODY,
THESE INCLUDE THE CONTROL OF: BLOOD
GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION.
