Homeostasis and Blood Pressure Blood pressure is force behind blood as it flows through arteries.Blood pressure is force behind blood as it flows through arteries. Systolic Vs Diastolic pressureSystolic Vs Diastolic pressure Increase heart rate and stroke volume increase BP.Increase heart rate and stroke volume increase BP. Tortora Page: 5-7

Homeostasis and Blood Pressure Pressure sensitive nerves in arteries sense higher BP.Pressure sensitive nerves in arteries sense higher BP. Nerves send signal to brain.Nerves send signal to brain. Brain sends signals to slow heart rate.Brain sends signals to slow heart rate. Tortora Page: 5-7

Slide 13

Feedback Systems Feedback systems are either negative or positive.Feedback systems are either negative or positive. Negative feedback systems correct deviations due to stress. Positive accentuate the action. Most feedback systems in the human body are negative. Positive feedback mechanisms are regulated by negative feedback loops. Tortora Page: 6

Slide 14

Regulation of Glucose Levels The glucose roller coaster: The glucose roller coaster: Low levels after sleep. High levels after 3 donuts and hot chocolate for breakfast! Low levels by lunch. High levels after lunch of hershey candy and pepsi ! Low levels by 2:00 Page 327 Tortora

Slide 15

Regulation of Glucose Levels Excess glucose:Excess glucose: Insulin is secreted by islets of Langerhans (beta cells) in pancreas.Insulin is secreted by islets of Langerhans (beta cells) in pancreas. Absorbed by liver cells which converts glucose to glycogen. (polysaccharide) Causes cells to take in glucose Page 327 Tortora

Slide 16

Regulation of Glucose Levels When blood glucose levels are low:When blood glucose levels are low: Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells in pancreas Glycogen is broken down into glucose and released into blood. Glucose levels surrounding the cells stays fairly even through out the day. Page 327 Tortora
