  • Communication, Homeostasis and Energy
    • Cell Signalling is how cells communicate with each other using signals
    • Homeostasis is the idea of maintaining a stable internal environment even though the environment is changing by Negative Feedback
      • Positive Feedback
        • Process increases and magnifies initial chance- destabilises internal environment e.g. Hypothermia
      • Negative Feedback
        • Bringing about reversal of any changes to environment- maintain core constant body tempreature
        • Endotherm
          • Uses internal sources of heat (metabolism and resp. in liver)- mammals
            • SWEAT  HAIRS  ARTERIOLES LIVER LUNGS
            • Thermoregulatory Centre in Hypothalamus of brain using peripheral temperature receptors below skin
              • Sends action potentail to hypothalamus for negative feedback response
        • Ectotherm
          • Relies on external sources of heat to maintain body temp. e.g. reptiles
            • Physiological and behavioural changes e.g. moving towards sun, increasing SA, cool water
  • Cytokines
