OL Lab 1: Homeostatic Control: How does the human body keep itself in balance?
Learning Objectives:
List some of the main physiological variables under homeostatic control
Employ appropriate vocabulary to discuss the processes and concepts of homeostasis.
Explain the steps in a homeostatic pathway from stimulus to response
Compare different types of feedback loops.
Identify signs of homeostatic disruption and determine the underlying mechanism
Introduction:
The human body is a very complex combination of finely tuned machinery. Every organ system is dependent on the other to carry out its physiological functions along with maintaining an internal equilibrium. Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain an
internal balance to in the body. So how does it always keep everything in balance? In this simulation, you will learn about the underlying regulatory workflow involved in the homeostatic process, through the examples of body temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar regulation. Observe homeostasis in action.
You will test different settings on our virtual volunteer, Phineas. You will observe and analyze how the body reacts to the various stimuli such as changes in temperature, heart rate, and blood glucose levels in the body. Using a 3D model of the human body, you will be able to apply one or more stimuli on the test subject, to observe an immediate visible impact on physiological variables. From your observations, you will identify the sensors detecting the stimuli, the control center processing them, and the effectors acting to counter them on Phineas’ body. Finally, you will interpret the resulting changes in those variables to explain the homeostatic phenomenon.

Part 2: Report and Reflection
Purpose: Describe in your own words and in complete sentences, the purpose of this experiment.
To better understand the big role that homeostasis provides for the human body, but also to view how the body reacts when coming across certain situations and the reason for it.
Observations: List 2 observations you have made in this simulation.
2 observation I saw was how the body reacted to no AC and how the body reacted with AC and high exercise.
Answer all the questions below:
1.
Why is it essential to have maintain homeostasis? (1 point)
Containing homeostasis is essential to all living organisms as it maintains balance through the organisms body
2.
Provide an example of positive feedback mechanism and identify the stimuli, the central processing unit and the effectors involved in the pathway. (2 points)
Giving birth is one instance of a positive feedback system. When the baby begins pressing up against the cervix, this acts as the stimulant. The hypothalamus, which serves as the brain's primary processing center, causes the pituitary gland to release the oxytocin hormone.
3.
In the simulation, what were the organs involved in homeostatic control?
BIOS251 OL, Week 1 Lab
Name:
(2 points)
Sweat Glands, Blood vessels, Heart, Aorta, Medulla, pancreas, and Liver.
4.
Using the figure below identify the abdominopelvic regions (5 points)

Reflection: Reflect on at least 2 key concepts you have learned from this simulation. How would you relate it to the physiological functions of the body?
Understanding homeostasis and feedback mechanisms is crucial to comprehending how the body works physiologically. While feedback systems make sure that changes in
variables are adequately regulated to keep the body operating at its best, homeostasis enables the body to retain stability. These ideas are crucial to many physical functions and are essential to preserving general health and wellbeing.

Analysis and Interpretation of vertical Ground Reaction Forces. In this study, a volunteer was asked to walk on two force platforms under two different conditions. Condition 1- Normal Walk (NW), condition 2 - walking over an obstacle (ObsW). The right limb was the one to step on platform 1 in both conditions. The force platforms were used to measure the vertical ground reaction forces on the right limb. Data was collected on Vicon (Nexus) software and the attached graphs ( mean NW/ObsW, Mean (+-)1SD NW/ObsW) were created. Analyse ,Interpret the graphs and make a conclusion of the result attached.

The rapid progress of engineering design and information technology has caused difficulties in analyzing system reliability. Because of the increased complexity in system reliability structure (component/subsystem interfaces), many unexpected failure modes could occur, and their behaviors are interdependent. At a system’s design and development stage, the main challenge in analyzing a complex system is the failure uncertainty introduced by the incomplete knowledge of the system. This makes it hard to decompose system reliability into subsystem/component reliability in a deterministic manner, such as series or parallel systems. As a result, some common reliability analysis tools such as fault tree (FT) and reliability block diagram (RBD) become inadequate. Do you agree, why or why not? Are there any other approaches to system reliability assessment beside these tools at the early system’s design and development stage (what are these approaches)?

As an engineer responsible for monitoring works in the area of mechanical systems, you must evaluate the following situation: a large client in the retail area has a refrigeration system where it stores some chilled or frozen products to be sold on the sales floor.Recently, the customer's maintenance department has been questioning the system's performance and requested an evaluation of the system's behavior. You went to the location and requested some information from the maintenance manager about the system, who provided the following data: - The system operates with R-134a refrigerant;- The refrigerated environment is maintained at 0°C and the external environment at 26°C;- The refrigerant flow rate in the system is 0.08 kg/s; In addition to the data provided, you carried out some tests and measured the temperature of the refrigerant fluid at some specific points in the system, such as the compressor inlet and condenser outlet, finding values of 0°C and 26°C respectively.…

A. A student establishes the time constant of a temperature sensor by first holding it immersed in hot water and then
suddenly removing it and holding it immersed in cold water. Several other students perform the same test with
similar sensors. Overall, their results are inconsistent, with estimated time constants differing by as much as a
factor of 1.2. Offer suggestions about why this might happen. Hint: Try this yourself and think about control of
test conditions.
B. Which would you expect to be better suited to measure a time-dependent temperature, a thermal sensor (e.g., a
thermocouple) having a small diameter spherical bead or one having a large diameter spherical bead? Why?

Learning Goal:
To use the principle of linear impulse and momentum to relate a force on an object to the resulting velocity of the object at different times.
The equation of motion for a particle of mass m
can be written as
∑F=ma=mdvdt
By rearranging the terms and integrating, this equation becomes the principle of linear impulse and momentum:
∑∫t2t1Fdt=m∫v2v1dv=mv2−mv1
For problem-solving purposes, this principle is often rewritten as
mv1+∑∫t2t1Fdt=mv2
The integral ∫Fdt is called the linear impulse, I, and the vector mv is called the particle's linear momentum.
A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at−bt2, where a = 1300 N/ms , b = 300 N/ms2 , and t is the time (in milliseconds). The ball is in contact with the racket for 2.90 ms . If the tennis ball has a mass of 59.7 g , what is the resulting velocity of the ball, v, after the ball is hit by the racket?

After creating a decision matrix for two types of materials used to design a safety belt, an engineer assigns a weight of 4 to nylon for thickness and a weight of 5 to polyester for thickness. The engineer also assigns a weight of 4 to nylon for strength and a weight of 3 to polyester for strength. Polyester is more expensive than nylon. Describe which material would be preferable to use for the safety belt, if cost is prioritized as a criterion
