Introduction to Organ Systems
• The body can be divided into 11 organ systems, but all work together and the boundaries between them aren’t absolute.

Homeostatic Regulation• Homeostasis• Maintains stable internal conditions
• Temperature• Ionic concentrations• Blood sugar levels, etc.
• Utilizes negative feedback mechanisms

Homeostatic Regulation• Regulation depends on:
• Receptor sensitive to a particular stimulus• Effector that affects the same stimulus

Homeostatic Regulation• Negative Feedback:
• Variation outside normal limits triggers automatic corrective response
• Response negates disturbance

Homeostatic Regulation•Positive Feedback:• Stimulus produces response that reinforces the
stimulus• Response rapidly completes critical process
