1) Homeostasis

process of homoestasis

Anatomy 

“ the study of structure of the human body”

physiology

“the study of function or the process of the human body”

Anatomist

Focus on the form and structure of the (part)

Physiologist

Focus on the functions of the (part)

Homoestasis control mechanism:

1: Stimulus

2: Receptor

3: The receptor sends input info to the control center

4: Control center

5: Control center sends output info to the effector

6: Effector

7: Homostasis restores (balance)

Homeostasis control mechanism: Stimulus

Changes in variable that is regulated (e.g, temperature, stretch in muscle)

Homeostasis control mechanism: Receptor

Structure that detects the stimulus (e.g, sensory neurons in the skin, stretch receptors in muscle)

Homeostasis control mechanism: Function of the receptor

The receptor sends input info to the control center ( if receptor and control center are separate structures)

Homeostasis control mechanism: 4) Control center

coordinate input and initiates change through the effector (usually the brain or endocrine gland)

Homeostasis control mechanism: 5) Control center

Control center sends output information to the effector

Homeostasis control mechanism: Effector

Structure that sends response (e.g, muscle or glands that brings about a change to the stimulus)

What does it mean to have a homeostasis restored

Homeostasis is balance ( back to the neutral state)
