Regulation of the Body Functions
Regulation- the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal conditions in a constantly changing environment
-Three types:
1. Chemical (hormonal) Regulation- a regulatory process performed by hormone or active chemical substance in blood or tissue.
-It response slowly, acts extensively and lasts for a long time.
2. Nervous Regulation- a process in which body functions are controlled by nerve system
- Pathway: nerve reflex
- Types: unconditioned reflex and conditioned reflex
8
- Example: baroreceptor reflex of arterial blood pressure
- Characteristics: response fast; acts exactly or locally, last for a short time
3. Autoregulation – a tissue or an organ can directly respond to environmental changes that are independent of nervous and hormonal control
In the human body these three regulations are coordinated and acts as one system, “feedback control system”.

Feedback Control
The word “feedback” means a process in which a part of output (feedback signal) from controlled organ returns to affect or modify the action of the control system.
Feedback control mechanism consists of two forms: negative and positive feedback control.
10
The feedback signals from controlled The feedback signals from controlled system produces effect opposite to the system produces effect opposite to the action of the control system.action of the control system.
The opposite effect is mainly The opposite effect is mainly “inhibitory action”.“inhibitory action”.

Homeostatic Regulation of Body Temperature through Negative Feedback
Homeostasis Using a Neural Pathway
Control center
Many homeostatic mechanisms use a nerve pathway in which to produce their effects. These pathways involve an afferent path which brings sensory messages into the brain and an efferent path which carries outgoing nerve messages to effectors.

Homeostatic Regulation of Blood Sugar through Negative Feedback
Negative Feedback Via a Hormonal PathwayRegulation of Blood Sugar
Hormones play an important role in many homeostatic pathways. Hormones are produced by endocrine glands. They enter the blood after being produced and travel throughout the body. However, hormones have their effect on specific target tissues.

Positive feedback Positive feedbackThe feedback signal or output from the The feedback signal or output from the controlled system increases the action of controlled system increases the action of the control systemthe control system
Examples: Blood clotting, Micturition, Examples: Blood clotting, Micturition, defecation, Nadefecation, Na++ inflow in genesis of nerve inflow in genesis of nerve signals, Contraction of the uterus during signals, Contraction of the uterus during childbirth (parturition).childbirth (parturition).
Positive Feedback Mechanisms
Homeostatic systems utilizing positive feedback exhibit two primary characteristics:
1. Time limitation – Processes in the body that must be completed within a constrained time frame are usually modified by positive feedback.
2. Intensification of stress – During a positive feedback process, the initial imbalance or stress is intensified rather than reduced as it is in negative feedback.

The birth of the child will bring this process to a close. Other examples of positive feedback regulation occur during milk letdown and blood clotting.
Positive feedback “mini-loops” are built into pathway to speed up production of chemicals needed to form the clot. Entire sequence of clotting is a negative feedback pathway:

Importance:
1) Enhance the action of original stimulus or amplify or reinforce change, promote an activity to finish
2) It is known as a vicious circle because it can lead to instability or even death
21
Feed-forward control
Concept: a direct effect of stimulus on the control system before the action of feedback signal occurs.
Here the direct effect of the stimulus is termed disturb signal or interfere signal.
Example: Shivering before diving into the cold water

Significance of Feedback-forward :
adaptive feedback control.

(prepare the body for the change).
