Question
Answer
.
Homeostasis   The set of processes that maintain the internal environment of an organism within physiological parameters necessary for health and survivals   .  
🗑
Thermoregulation   Terminology - Warm-blooded vs. coldblooded - Poikilotherm vs. homeotherms - Endotherms vs. ectotherms Endothermy is costly, requires more energy and regulatory mechanisms.    
🗑
Why need thermoregulation   - Most mammals and birds @ 37 deg C - Temperature dependent reactions - Thermoregulation yields increased aerobic capacity   (blank)  
🗑
Mechanisms for Thermoregulation   • Internal regulatory mechanisms - positive feedback -negative feedback   Responses to cold:increased thyroid, metabolism, shivering, constriction of vessels Responses to hot: respiration, perspiration, dilation of vessels  
🗑
Mechanisms for Thermoregulation   Motivated behavior. Categories of behavioral thermoregulation 1) Changing exposure of body surface 2) Changing external insulation 3) Selecting a different surrounding that is less thermally stressful   .  
🗑
Mechanisms for Thermoregulation (3)   • Special adaptations: ear size (small-cold climates, large-hot climates) •physical adaptations: size, shape, carotid rete in dogs - Cool blood from nasal veins surrounds and cools arterial blood, hibernation, topir (squirrels)    
🗑
Thermoregulatory Circuitry   *Afferents: skin surface, body core, HT *Neural Regions: Spinal cord, brain stem, hypothalamus *Effectors: behavioral- shivering, heat seeking/avoiding behaviors. autonomic-constriction/dilation, sweating, respiration, brown fat stimulation, TH secreti   .  
🗑
Neuroanatomy of Temperature Regulation   1) Temp sensitive neurons in POA and LH 2) LH lesions abolish behavioral regulation 3) POA lesions abolish autonomic regulation Thermostats: Hypothalamus, Brain Stem, Spinal Cord (broader set zones) *Temperature more tightly regulated by the hypotha   .  
🗑
Volumetric Thirst   -Loss of extracellular fluid -No change in osmolality -Baroreceptors -Responses -Renin, angiotensin, vasopressin -ANS   Circuitry: • Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus • Baroreceptors (mechanoreceptors)in blood vessels and heart • Hormonal regulation at kidneys, hypothalamus, liver, and pituitary  
🗑
Osmometric Thirst   -Loss of intracellular fluid -Due to change in osmolality -Osmoreceptors (maybe) -Responses: thirst, Adrenals: aldosterone   Circuitry • OVLT • Lateral Hypothalamus (magnocellular neurosecretory cells) • Neurosecretory cells secrete vasopressin into blood triggering osmometric thirst.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
