System Role in Homeostasis
Excretory -Removes metabolic wastes and Regulates bodily fluid levels
(H2O level, salt level)
Nervous -Regulates body functions through electrochemical impulses (messages)
Endocrine -Regulates body functions and Behaviors through chemicals
(hormones)
(nerve control)

Respiratory -Regulates O2 and CO2 levels (gas exchange)
Circulatory -Regulates the transfer of materials in the blood (O2, nutrients, waste)
Digestive -Regulates and provides the end products of food usable for cell functions
(glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol)
Immune -Regulates and protects the body from disease and microorganisms
**Remember that single-celled organisms use organelles to carry out life processes while multi-cellular organisms use body systems.

How is water balance maintained in humans?
-Urination
-Perspiration
How is water balance maintained in plants? -Guard Cells (open/close stomate)
Where does this occur in the plant?
- The underside of the leaf (top part of leaf is waxy)
Too much water
Stomate OPENS
Guard cells curved
Not enough water
Stomate CLOSES
Guard cells straighten

When do most keep their stomates open/closed?
-Most green plants keep stomates OPEN during The day to take in CO2 and release O2 for Photosynthesis. They CLOSE at night
-Desert Plants (cactus) keep their stomates CLOSED during the daytime to conserve H2O. They OPEN at night to take in CO2 for Photosynthesis to occur the next day

What gases are involved in human gas exchange?
1. When CO2 INCREASES, blood becomes acidic (low pH)
How are breathing rates regulated?
2. The hypothalamus detects the pH change
3.Effectors in the medulla make the necessary adjustments to maintain homeostasis of the O2/CO2 levels in the blood
Possible Adjustments: - Increase/decrease breathing rate -Increase/decrease heart rate -Increase/decrease depth of breath (deep/shallow)
![Page 12: What is homeostasis? - Mrs. Roderickmrsroderick.com/classnotes/homeostasisdisease.pdf · What is homeostasis? -The process of maintaining a constant internal environment despite a](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e7f57367a4367213c2acf75/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When CO2 level decreases, pH increases (remember normal blood = pH 7)
Breathing and heart rate return to NORMAL
What are some internal conditions maintained by Homeostasis (dynamic equilibrium)?
-pH, temperature, water level, salt level, O2/CO2 levels
What happens when homeostasis is DISRUPTED?

What are the factors that cause disease?
-Genetic; From parent to offspring
Ex: 1. Sickle Cell Anemia
-Hemoglobin is flawed causing RBC to become twisted, making it difficult to travel through capillaries. Poor Oxygen supply. No cure, treated with blood transfusions.
2. Hemophilia -Damaged platelets. Can’t Form blood clots. May bleed to death. Treated With platelet transfusions, not cured.

How does the body protect against disease?
Physical and Chemical Barriers
1.Skin and membranes
-Major physical barrier. Layer of flat, tough Cells that keep microorganisms out UNLESS DAMAGED
-PHYSICAL BARRIERS:

Immune System
-maintains homeostasis by protecting the body from disease through recognizing, Remembering, attacking, and destroying pathogens
How do WBC work? 1. Engulf and destroy- Surround, digest, and kill pathogen
2. Produce antibodies- Proteins that attack and kill Antigens (shape specific)
3. Recognizes and remembers-
Recognizes and remembers Previously encountered Pathogens and is better prepared to fight them

Antibodies are SPECIFIC to antigens
-they are found on the surface of pathogens (as well As every cell in your body!)
Ex: Viruses, bacteria
