Importance of Homeostasis 1)
It can maintain the composition of the body in fairly strict limits
( ion concentrations, pH, blood gasses, T℃ etc)
It results in normal functions
How is the homeostasis achieved
This is done by several regulation mechanisms, particularly the feedback control
3 patterns of regulation: Nervous Regulation (神经调节) Hormonal Regulation (体液调节) Autoregulation (自身调节) 4
Nervous Regulation Characteristics: ① It responses fast
② It acts exactly
③ Duration is short
Hormonal Regulation Characteristics : ① It responses slowly
② It acts extensively
③ It lasts for long time
Auto-regulation Characteristics: ① Amplitude of its effect is smaller than other two types
② Extension of its effect is smaller than other two types
Role: only a supplement
