1. Cells, the fundamental units of life, exchange nutrients
and wastes with their surroundings:
The intracellular fluid isconditioned by
the interstitial fluid, which is conditioned by
the plasma, which is conditioned by
the organ systems it passes through.

Homeostasis refers to the dynamic mechanisms
that detect and respond to deviations in
physiological variables from theirset point valuesby initiating effector responses that restore
the variables to the optimal physiological range.

Muscle Cells and Tissues
There are 3 types of muscle cells in thehuman body: Cardiac, Skeletal and Smooth.
Control of the cardiac and smooth muscle isinvoluntary, while skeletal is voluntary.
Muscle cells with be covered in depth in

Neurons and Nervous Tissue
A neuron is a cell of the nervous system that is specialized
to initiate, integrate and conduct electrical signals to other
cells.
A collection of neurons forms nervous tissue (brain or
spinal cord).
Axons from many neurons are packaged together along
with connective tissue to form a nerve.
Neurons, nervous tissue, and the nervous system will be
covered in Chapter 6.

Epithelial cells and epithelial tissue Epithelial cells are specialized for the selective secretion and absorption of
ions and organic molecules, and for protection.
These cells are characterized and named according to their unique shapes,
including cuboidal (cube-shaped), columnar (elongated), squamous
(flattened) and ciliated.
Epithelial tissue (known as an epithelium) may form from any type of
epithelial cell. Epithelia may be arranged in single-cell thick tissue, called a
simple epithelium, or a thicker tissue consisting of numerous layers of
cells, called a stratified epithelium.
The type of epithelium that forms in a given region of the body reflects the
function of that particular epithelium. For example, the epithelium that
lines the inner surface of the main airway, the trachea, consists of ciliated
epithelial cells (see Chapter 13).

Epithelial cells and epithelial tissue Epithelia are located at the surfaces that cover the body or individual
organs, and they line the inner surfaces of the tubular and hollowstructures within the body.
Epithelial cells rest on an extracellular protein layer called the
basement membrane. The side of the cell anchored to the basement
membrane is called the basolateral side; the opposite side, whichtypically faces the interior, is called the apical side.
A defining feature of many epithelia is that the two sides of all the
epithelial cells in the tissue may perform different physiological
functions.
In addition, the cells are held together along their lateral surfaces by
extracellular barriers called tight junctions Tight junctions enable
epithelia to form boundaries between body compartments and to
function as selective barriers regulating the exchange of molecules.

What surrounds the cells? The immediate environment that surrounds each individual cell in the body is
the extracellular fluid and extracellular matrix (ECM).
ECM consists of a mixture of proteins, polysaccharides, and in some cases,
minerals.
The matrix serves two general functions: (1) It provides a scaffold for cellular
attachments, and (2) it transmits information, in the form of chemical
messengers, to the cells to help regulate their activity, migration, growth, and
differentiation.
The proteins of the extracellular matrix consist of fibersropelike collagen
fibers and rubberband-like elastin fibersand a mixture of nonfibrous
proteins that contain carbohydrate.

Organs and Organ Systems
Organs are composed of multiple tissuetypes (example: blood vessels have layers
of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells
and fibroblasts).
Organ systems contain multiple organs that
work together (example: the urinary systemhas the kidney, ureters, urethra, bladder).

Body Fluids and Compartments The term body fluids, is used to refer to the watery solution of
dissolved substances (oxygen, nutrients, etc.) present in the body.
The fluid in the blood and surrounding cells is called
extracellular fluid (i.e., outside the cell).
About 2025 percent is in the fluid portion of blood (plasma) and
the remaining 7580 percent of the extracellular fluid lies around
and between cells and is known as the interstitial fluid.
The space containing interstitial fluid is called the interstitium.
Therefore, the total volume of extracellular fluid is the sum of the
plasma and interstitial volumes.

Body Fluids and Compartments
Intracellular fluid is the fluid located inside the cells.
The composition of the extracellular fluid is very different from
that of the intracellular fluid.
Maintaining differences in fluid composition across the cell
membrane is an important way in which cells regulate their own
activity.

Homeostasis
Homeostasis is a dynamic, not a static, process.
Physiological variables can change dramatically
over a 24-hr. period, but the system is still in
overall balance.
When homeostasis is maintained, we refer to
physiology; when it is not, we refer to
pathophysiology.

Blood glucose levels
increase after eating.
Levels return to their set
point via homeostasis.
This is an example of
dynamic constancy.
Levels change over short
periods of time, butremain relatively
constant over long
periods of time.

System Controls
Feedback loops or systems are a commonmechanism to control physiological processes.
A positive feedback system (also called a feedforward) enhances the production of the
product.
A negative feedback system shuts the system
off once the set point has been reached.

A strategy for exploring homeostasis
(see Tables 1-2 & 1-3)
Identify the internal environmental variable.
Establish the set point value for that variable.
Identify the inputs and outputs affecting the variable.

synthesis by the liver
Many homeostatic mechanisms utilize neural
communication.
Examine the balance between the inputs and outputs.
Determine how the body monitors/senses the variable.
Identify effectors that restore the variable to its set point.

Reflexes
A reflex is a specific involuntary,
unpremeditated, unlearned built-in response
to a particular stimulus.
Example: pulling your hand away from a hot
object or shutting your eyes as an object rapidly
approaches your face.

Reflexes The pathway mediating a reflex is known as the reflex arc.
An arc has several components: stimulus, receptor, afferent (incoming)
pathway, integration center, efferent (outgoing) pathway, and effector.
A stimulus is defined as a detectable change in the internal or external
environment. A receptor detects the change. The pathway the signal
travels between the receptor and the integrating center is known as the
afferent pathway. The pathway along which information travels away
from the integration center to the effector is known as the efferent
pathway
An integrating center often receives signals from many receptors, some
of which may respond to quite different types of stimuli. Thus, the
output of an integrating center reflects the net effect of the total
afferent input; that is, it represents an integration of numerous bits of
information.

Non-nerve Reflexes Almost all body cells can act as effectors in homeostatic
reflexes.
There are, however, two specialized classes of tissuesmuscle
and glandthat are the major effectors of biological control
systems.
In the case of glands, the effector may be a hormone secreted
into the blood.
A hormone is a type of chemical messenger secreted into the
blood by cells of the endocrine system (see Table 11).
Hormones may act on many different cells simultaneously
because they circulate throughout the body.

Types of Signals
Hormones are produced in and secretedfrom endocrine glands or in scattered cells
that are distributed throughout another
organ.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers
that are released from the endings ofneurons onto other neurons, muscle cells, or
gland cells.

Endocrine: signal reaches often-distant targets aftertransport in blood.
Paracrine: signal reaches neighboring cells via the ISF.
Autocrine: signal affects the cell that synthesized the
signal.
Chemical Messengers
Chemical messengers participate not only in reflexes,but also in local responses.
Communication signals in three categories:

35
Points to Remember
A neuron, endocrine gland cell, and other cell
types may all secrete the same chemicalmessenger.
In some cases, a particular messenger mayfunction as a neurotransmitter, as a hormone, or as
a paracrine/autocrine substance.
Example: Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter in
the brain and is also produced as a hormone by
cells of the adrenal glands.

Multi-factorial control of
signal release adds
more complexity.
A given signal can
fit into all 3 categories:
(e.g., the steroid
hormone cortisol
affects the very cells in
which it is made,
the nearby cells thatproduce other hormones,
and many distant targets,
including muscles and
liver.)

37
Other Types of Cell Communication There are two important types of chemical communication
between cells that do not require secretion of a chemicalmessenger.
1. Gap junctions (physical linkages connecting the cytosol
between two cells) allow molecules to move from one cell toan adjacent cell without entering the extracellular fluid.
2. Juxtacrine signaling is the chemical messenger not actually
being released from the cell producing it, but rather is locatedin the plasma membrane of that cell. When the cell encounters
another cell type capable of responding to the message, the
two cells link up via the membrane-bound messenger.

Adaptation and Acclimatization
The term adaptation denotes a characteristic thatfavors survival in specific environments.
Acclimatization refers to the improvedfunctioning of an already existing homeostatic
system based on an environmental stress.
In an individual, acclimatizations are reversible;
adaptations are not.

Biological Rhythms
Many body functions are rhythmical
changes.
Example: circadian rhythm, which cycles
approximately once every 24 h.
Waking and sleeping, body temperature,hormone concentrations in the blood, the
excretion of ions into the urine, and many
other functions undergo circadian variation.

hormone cortisol requires
not only knowledge of the
signals that cause itssynthesis and secretion
but also consideration
of biological rhythms.

What have biological rhythms to do with homeostasis?
They add an anticipatory component to homeostatic
control systems and in effect are a feed-forward systemoperating without detectors.
The negative-feedback homeostatic responses are
corrective responses. They are initiated afterthe steady
state of the individual has been perturbed.
Biological rhythms enable homeostatic mechanisms tobe utilized immediately and automatically by activating
them at times when a challenge is likely to occur but
before it actually does occur.

Balance in the Homeostasis of
Chemical Substances in the Body
Many homeostatic systems regulate the balance
between addition and removal of a chemical substance
from the body.
Two important generalizations concerning the balance
concept: (1) During any period of time, total-body
balance depends upon the relative rates of net gain and
net loss to the body; and (2) the pool concentration
depends not only upon the total amount of the substance
in the body, but also upon exchanges of the substance
within the body.

Sodium homeostasis: Consuming greater amounts of dietary
sodium initiates a set of dynamic responses that include greater
excretion of sodium in the urine. Though not shown here, the
amount excreted would likely exceed the amount ingested until
the set point is restored.

Clinical Correlation
A 64-year-old, fair-skinned man in good overall health spent a veryhot, humid summer day gardening in his backyard. After several hours
in the sun, he began to feel dizzy and confused as he knelt over his
vegetable garden. Although he had earlier been perspiring profusely,
his sweating had eventually stopped. Because he also felt confused and
disoriented, he could not recall for how long he had not been
perspiring, or even how long it had been since he had taken a drink of
water. He called to his wife, who was alarmed to see that his skin had
turned a pale blue color. She asked her husband to come indoors, but
he fainted as soon as he tried to stand. The wife called for an
ambulance, and the man was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a
condition called heat stroke. What happened to this man that wouldexplain his condition, and how does it relate to homeostasis?
