Of Maintaining Optimal Physical and Chemical Condition in The Internal Ønvironment

The document discusses the importance of maintaining homeostasis in the internal environment. It notes that the physical and chemical conditions in the tissue fluid must be kept constant to allow cells to function efficiently. It lists key physical factors like body temperature and blood pressure, and chemical factors like oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood sugar, and pH levels. Homeostasis is defined as the regulation of these internal conditions to maintain a stable internal environment. One example provided is how the kidneys regulate water content and osmotic pressure in the blood through increasing or decreasing urine output.

Necessity of maintaining optimal physical and chemical condition in the Internal

ønvironment

• To ensure the physiological processes In the body can proceed at optimum rats In order to promote harmonious growth and
development
-The cells of multicellular organisms are bathed by tissue fluid (internal environment of the organism)
- The physical and chemical condition Of tissue fluid must be keep content
- Body cells can function efficiently and Interact with one another

Physical and chemical factors In our internal environment

• Physical factors:
- Body temperature
- Blood pressure

• Chemical factors

- Partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide


- Osmotic pressure
- Blood sugar level
- pH

What is homeostasis?
The regulation of the physical
and chemical factors in the
Internal environment to maintain
a constant Internal environment
- Homeostasis:
• Involves monitoring changes in the external and internal environment by

Changes In blood osmotic pressure to urine output

• The water content of the blood determines the blood osmotic pressure
• The osmotic pressure of blood Increases (low water content in the blood)-
- regulated through honieoatasis
- more water reabsorbed Into the blood by kidney
- Decreasing the amount of urine eliminated from the body
• The osmotic pressure of blood decreases
(high water content In the blood)

regulated through homeostasis

- increasing the amount of urine eliminated from the body
