BIOS251 OL, Week 1 Lab
Name:
OL Lab 1: Homeostatic Control: How does the human body keep itself in balance?
Learning Objectives:
• List some of the main physiological variables under homeostatic control
• Employ appropriate vocabulary to discuss the processes and
concepts of homeostasis
• Explain the steps in a homeostatic pathway from stimulus to response
• Compare different types of feedback loops
• Identify signs of homeostatic disruption and determine the underlying
mechanism
Introduction:
The human body is a very complex combination of finely-tuned machinery.
Every organ system is dependent on the other to carry out its physiological
functions along with maintaining an internal equilibrium. Homeostasis is the
ability of the body to maintain an internal balance to in the body. So how
does it always keep everything in balance? In this simulation, you will learn
about the underlying regulatory workflow involved in the homeostatic
process, through the examples of body temperature, blood pressure, and
blood sugar regulation.
Observe homeostasis in action
You will test different settings on our virtual volunteer, Phineas. You will
observe and analyze how the body reacts to the various stimuli such as
changes in temperature, heart rate, and blood glucose levels in the body.
Using a 3D model of the human body, you will be able to apply one or more
stimuli on the test subject, to observe an immediate visible impact on
physiological variables.
From your observations, you will identify the sensors detecting the stimuli,
the control center processing them, and the effectors acting to counter them
on Phineas’ body.
Finally, you will interpret the resulting changes in those variables to explain
the homeostatic phenomenon.
