LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

• • For any homeostatic control to occur there must be: a stimulus which is a change in the internal environment‚ a receptor which can detect the stimulus‚ an automatic or self-regulatory corrective mechanism‚ which bring about a negative feedback. Homeostasis may include the regulation of the following: Blood glucose level‚ Blood water potential‚ Temperature. 10.2 Blood glucose regulation. 3. • • • 1. The regulation of blood glucose level is done by the pancreas. 2. Homeostatic control of

Thomas Malthus and ZPG World Population is constantly increasing at an exponential rate due to the industrial revolution. Many don’t realize the after-effects of such happenings. To fully comprehend the idea fully‚ geographers have had to research Thomas Malthus studies. Malthus was a British scholar whom played a key role in demography‚ the study of population. Malthus contributed to the fields of human geographers. While studying different animal species‚ Malthus noticed that populations grew

maintenence of a relatively normal internal environment. This means that the body has many systems in place to regulate what happens in our bodies to keep it functioning properly. There are very few functions that we have control over in the homeostatic processes ’ of our bodies. Sleep is one of them. Sleep is very important to the regulation of the body ’s functions. Sleep is regulated by circadian rhythms. The circadian rhythm is controlled in the brain by an area called the suprachiasmatic

the norm triggers off a response‚ which then allows the norm to be re-set.” Negative feedback is a process when the body regulates the internal environment by keeping constant the ideal internal conditions. The 3 key components required for the homeostatic mechanisms are the receptor‚ control centre and effector. The receptor is what identifies the change in the internal environment and the sends a message to the control centre. The control centre is located in the brain then sends a signal to the

Angina Pectoris Angina pectoris is a medical condition that literally means a choked chest. The victim feels acute pain in his chest for a few seconds‚ and then it goes away. This occurs when myocardium cells‚ the muscle portion of your heart‚ are temporarily denied oxygen. At this stage they do not die‚ but maybe weakened. If left untreated and the disease continues‚ a serious condition known as myocardial infraction or commonly called a heart attack may occur. This can severely damage the

The nervous system helps maintain homeostasis Homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components: a receptor‚ integrating center‚ and effector. The receptor senses environmental stimuli‚ sending the information to the integrating center. The integrating center‚ generally a region of the brain called the hypothalamus‚ signals an effector (e.g. muscles or an organ) to respond to the stimuli. Positive feedback enhances or accelerates output created by an activated stimulus
