9.1 CONCEPT OF HOMEOSTASIS
• Explain the concept of homeostasis and describe the homeostatic control system
• Homeostasis is the process of maintaining biologically stable condition inside a living organism / body (through physiological processes)
• Involves many regulatory process
• Any disruption that changes a controlled condition is called a stimulus
Basic components of a
feedback system• Body structure that monitors changes in a
controlled condition and sends input in the
form of nerve impulses or chemical signals to
a control center.
• Sets the range of values within which a
controlled condition should be
maintained, evaluates the input it
receives from receptors and generates
output commands when they are
needed.
Basic components of a
feedback system
• Output from the control center can
occur in forms of nerve impulses,
hormones or other chemical signals
• Muscles or glands that receives output
from the control centre and produces a
response or effect that changes the
controlled condition.
Basic components of a
feedback system
• The effector response by either
depressing it (negative feedback) or
enhancing it (positive feedback)

Feedback Mechanism
Feedback Mechanism:Negative Feedback• A mechanism that stops or reduces
the intensity of the original stimulus
• and consequently causes a change in a variable that is opposite in direction to the initial change
• The output is used to reduce input.
• A change from the usual level of a factor (the set point for the factor) triggers a corrective mechanism which restores the factor to its usual level.
• Eg. Regulation of Blood Glucose
Feedback Mechanism:Positive Feedback
• Feedback mechanism in which the response enhances the original stimulus
• The output is used to enhance the input
• Example: regulation of blood clotting
9.2 NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
• Explain the negative feedback mechanism in controlling blood glucose
• The brain cells are especially sensitive to glucose and are unable to utilize any other metabolites as an energy sources
• Lack of glucose results in fainting
• The normal level of glucose in the blood is about 90 mg /100 mL blood
• If the level drops below this point, respiration will slow or even stop inducing coma.
• If level becomes too high it has an equally harmful effect.
• A rise in blood glucose level (hyperglycaemia)
• stimulates insulin secretion
• A fall in blood glucose level (hypoglycaemia)
• inhibits insulin secretion
• and stimulates the secretion of glucagon and other hormones( glucocorticoids, adrenaline, growth hormone and thyroxine) which raise blood glucose levels (hyperglycaemic factors)
• There are 3 main sources of glucose :
• Conversion of protein into glucose (gluconeogenesis).
• Conversion of glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis).
• Carbohydrate including glucose in the diet.
The Pancrease
• The pancreas play a vital role in the regulation of blood glucose level.
• The pancreas has bundle of secretory cell distributed between other cell called Islet of Langerhans.
• 2 type of secretory cells :
• Alfa cell
• Beta cell
• These produce different hormone and monitor blood glucose level.
• Hormone travel to all part of the body via the blood.
• The target cell (liver and skeletal muscle cell).
• Two type of hormones:
i) Insulin
• Produce by beta cell in the islet of Langerhans
• When the glucose level are too high, glycogenesis occurs
• Glucose glycogen

insulin
ii) Glucagon
• Produce by alfa cells in islet of Langerhans
• When glucose level are too low, glycogenolysis occurs
• Glycogen glucose
HOMEOSTASIS/FAZ/1718
glucagon
Negative Feedback:Controlling blood glucose level
• Blood glucose level is regulated by islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
• These cells act as sensor and integration center
• When blood glucose concentration is high / hyperglycemia
• β cells secretes insulin
• Insulin stimulates uptake of glucose from the blood
• By muscle cells / liver / adipose tissue
• Glycogen is converted to glycogen in muscle cells and liver
• Glycogen is store in the liver
HOMEOSTASIS/FAZ/1718
• These tissue act as effector
• Insulin inhibits liver cells from releasing glucose
• When blood glucose liver is low // hypoglycemia
• α cells secretes glucagon
• Converts other metabolites to glucose // gluconeogenesis
• Fatty acid and amino acid are converted to glucose
• Involves negative feedback mechanism

The mammalian kidney
has two distinct regions:
an outer renal cortex
and an inner renal
medulla
Structure of Kidney:Cortex• Outer region
• Consist mainly of Malphigianbody (renal corpuscle) and convoluted tubules
• Each renal corpuscle is made up of a network of blood capillaries (glomerulus) enclosed by the Bowman’s capsule (renal capsule)
• Ultrafiltration takes place in renal capsule
Structure of Kidney:Medulla• Middle region
• Contain the Loop of Henle and the collecting ducts.
• Is grouped into structure called renal pyramid
• Collecting ducts group together and send projection into the hollow pelvic region.
Structure of Kidney:Pelvis• Inner region
• An open space which funnels the filtrate (urine) into the ureter.
• Is the functional unit of kidney
• Functions:
• Regulate the composition of body fluids by three main processes
• Glomerular ultrafiltration
• Selective tubular reabsorption
• Tubular secretion
Structure of Kidney:Nephron
• In the cortex close to the junction with the medulla
• Long loop of Henle that extend deep into the medulla
• Important Function when water is in short supply

• Occurs largely in the cortex
• Have short loop of Henle, just reaching the medulla

Parts of Nephron:Bowman’s capsule• Located at the closed end of the
tube where the wall of the nephron is pushed in forming a two walled compartment
• Contain glomerulus
• Capillary network enclosed within Bowman’s capsule.
• Renal corpuscle (Bowman’s capsule + glomerulus)
Parts of Nephron:Proximal convoluted tubule• Highly coiled and lined with
cells with microvilli and filled with many mitochondria
• Conducts the filtrate from Bowman’s capsule.
Parts of Nephron:loop of Henle
• Hair-pin shaped
• Have descending limb & ascending limb.
• Located in the medulla of the kidney.
Parts of Nephron:Distal convoluted tubule
• Located in the cortex of the kidney.
• Conducts the filtrate to a collecting duct.
Parts of Nephron:Collecting duct
• End of kidney, located in the medulla of the kidney.
• The collecting ducts all eventually drain into the pelvis of the kidney, from where the urine flows into the ureter.
• Blood enters the kidney by the renal artery from aorta
• Supplies both oxygenated
• branches into afferent arteriole.
Nephron & associated blood vessels:Renal artery
• Blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein to inferior vena cava
Nephron & associated blood vessels:Renal vein
• Brings blood towards each hollow capsule called Bowman’s capsule via glomerulus.
• Dividing to form a network of capillaries (glomerulus)
Nephron & associated blood vessels:Afferent arteriole
• Blood leaves the Bowman’s capsule (glomerulus) in an efferent arteriole
• Narrower than afferent arteriole
• Branch to form vasa recta around nephron before forming venules
• Divided to form capillaries whichsurround the proximal and distalconvoluted tubules and theloops of Henle in the medulla
Nephron & associated blood vessels:Efferent arteriole
• The capillaries of the vasa recta (peritubular capillaries) run parallel to the:• loops of Henle • collecting duct in the
medulla.
