•the brain senses the low temperature and sends message to skeletal and muscular system to shiver and form goose bumps
•it also sends message to circulatory system to constrict its blood vessels
Organ systems work together to maintain temperature
homeostasis
Organ systems work together to maintain
temperature homeostasisHot
Brain sends message to integumentary system to produce more sweat
It sends message to circulatory system for vasodilation
In both cases after body temperature comes back to normal, the signals are stopped being transmitted from the brain to other systems (negative feed back)
Maintaining the water Maintaining the water balancebalance
When there is too much water…When there is too much water…
Brain senses an increase in blood volumeBrain senses an increase in blood volume It sends message to kidneys to remove more It sends message to kidneys to remove more
water from blood and organism urinate morewater from blood and organism urinate more After the blood volume is restored this signal After the blood volume is restored this signal
would stop (negative feed back)would stop (negative feed back) Here nervous and excretory system work Here nervous and excretory system work
together to maintain homeostasistogether to maintain homeostasis
When there is less water in When there is less water in blood / blood volume is lowblood / blood volume is low
Brain sends message to pituatary gland to Brain sends message to pituatary gland to produce anti diuretic hormoneproduce anti diuretic hormone
ADH gives message to kidneys to take less ADH gives message to kidneys to take less water from blood and organism urinate water from blood and organism urinate less less
Brain signals for thirstBrain signals for thirst When blood volume is restores both these When blood volume is restores both these
signals would stop( negative fed back)signals would stop( negative fed back) Here nervous system works with endocrine Here nervous system works with endocrine
system and circulatory system system and circulatory system
How pH of blood is How pH of blood is maintainedmaintained Blood pH is close to neutral ( Blood pH is close to neutral ( pH of 7-pH of 7-
8 8 )) It can become acidic because of It can become acidic because of
increase in carbon dioxide level in increase in carbon dioxide level in bloodblood
Carbon dioxide and water in blood Carbon dioxide and water in blood forms carbonic acidforms carbonic acid
This low pH is sensed by brainThis low pH is sensed by brain
How pH of blood is How pH of blood is maintainedmaintained It gives message to lungs to work It gives message to lungs to work
more to expel carbon dioxide and more to expel carbon dioxide and bring in more oxygenbring in more oxygen
When the carbon dioxide level When the carbon dioxide level decreases and pH is maintained the decreases and pH is maintained the signal stopssignal stops
Here nervous system works with Here nervous system works with circulatory and respiratory systems to circulatory and respiratory systems to maintain homeostasis of body pH.maintain homeostasis of body pH.
