major blood vessels. The width of the pericardial cavity is
exaggerated here; normally the visceral and parietal layers
are separated only by a thin layer of pericardial fluid.

Note: Diagnostic Imaging Techniques). 49

1-7 Homeostasis
Homeostasis
– All body systems work together to maintain a stable
internal environment
• Systems respond to external and internal changes
to keep variables within normal ranges (body
temperature, fluid balance)
53
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
1-7 Homeostasis
Homeostatic regulation
– Autoregulation
• Automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ to an
environmental change
– Extrinsic regulation
• Responses controlled by nervous and endocrine
systems
54
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
1-7 Homeostasis
A homeostatic regulatory mechanism consists of
1. Receptor
• Receives the stimulus
2. Control center
• Processes the signal and sends instructions
3. Effector
• Carries out instructions
Limits fluctuations of internal conditions to keep them close
to a set point, or desired value

temperature temperature
a In response to input from a receptor (a thermometer), a control center (a thermostat) triggers an effector response
(either an air conditioner or a heater) that restores normal temperature. In this case, when room temperature rises
above the set point, the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and the temperature returns to normal.
56
1-8 Negative and Positive Feedback
Negative feedback
– The response of the effector negates the stimulus
– Body is brought back into homeostasis
• Normal range is maintained

a Events in the regulation of body temperature, which are comparable to those shown in Figure 1–8. A control center
in the brain (the hypothalamus) functions as a thermostat with a set point of 37ºC. If body temperature exceeds
37.2ºC, heat loss is increased through increased blood flow to the skin and increased sweating. 58
1-8 Negative and Positive Feedback
Positive feedback
– Initial stimulus produces a response that amplifies the
original change in conditions
– Body is moved away from homeostasis
• Normal range is not maintained
– A positive feedback loop completes a dangerous
process quickly to reestablish homeostasis

Systems integration
– Systems work together to maintain homeostasis
Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium
– Opposing forces are in balance
– Dynamic equilibrium—continual adaptation
Physiological systems work to maintain balance
– Failure results in disease
