• receptors that are sensitive to temp changes in the blood flowing thru the brain its self

in the hypothalamus

Q

where does extra info come from about the temp of ur body

A

the skin receptors —> send impulses to the thermoregulatory centre

can sense a 0.5•C difference

Q

what actually happens in the body when u overheating to cool you down

A

-blood vessels in the surface of ur skin dilate this is called VASODILATION=more blood to flow thru capillaries
•skin gets warmer so transfer more energy by radiation from ur skin to surr

-produce sweat—> water evaporates=cools ur body down
when this happends make sure to keep hydrated and have more mineral ions

Q

what happens when u wanna stay warm in ur body

A

blood vessels in ur skin constrict to reduce the flow of blood. called VASCONSTRICTION=reduces the energy transferred by reaction thru the surface of skin

-sweat production= reduced

-skeletal muscles contract and relax rapidly causing you to shiver.
This needs a lot of respiration, exothermic process.
The energy transferred from this process raises ur body temp until shivering stops

Q

why do i need to control water in body

A

osmosis in animal cells = burst or shrink = won’t worknpropletly

Q

what are the 2 processes that we can’t control the about of water lost

A

-water leaving the lungs when u exhale

-water, mineral ions, and urea lost thru skin in sweat

13
Q

are are 3 process we can front on the amount of water lost

A

-urea, excess mineral ions and water are removed via kidneys then excreted in urne, regulated to:

•maintain the water and mineral ion content of the blood within narrow limits

•remove urea

Q

what do the kidneys do if u are short on water

produce very little and concentrated urne and water is saved for use in body

16
Q

what moved thru the kidney and what doesn’t

A

-glucose, mineral ions and water all move out of the blood into kidneys

-the blood cells and large proteins are to big to leave the blood in the filtering process —> don’t go

-all glucose is transformed back into the blood by diffition and active transport

-the amount of water and dissolved montreal ions that are realised back into the blood varies—>depends on what is needed by your body = selective reabeotion

17
Q

how is the water in the boood maintained at a constant level

A

the hormone ADH = secreted by pituitary gland

18
Q

what does ADH do

A
  • changes the amount of water reabroved by the kidhey tubules
19
Q

what are the 2 options for kidney failure

A

transplant

regular sesstions of dialysis

20
Q

what happends in a dyalsis machine

A

-the concentration of dissolved substances in the blood is restored to healthy levels

by using the right concentration gradients that make sure that toxins and unwanted substances move by diffusion out of the blood into dialysis fluid but keep useful ones

21
Q

what diet to people on kidney dialysis need to keep

A

one that monitors proteins and salt

22
Q

what are some disadvantages of dialysis

A

-person just follow diet

-person has to spend regular long sesstions connect to machine

  • only short time that things are level so patient might feel tired or unwrel until next session

-over years it becomes more difficult to control balance

23
Q

how to reduce infection of a kidney transplant

A
  • match between the antigens of the doner snd patient

-immune support drugs
