Heat is a form of energy. It is a product of metabolic reactions, and the degree of heat present partly determines the rate at which these reactions occur. Generally, the more heat, the more rapidly chemical reactions take place. ) 5. Pressure is an application of force to something. For example, the force on the outside of the body due to the weight of air above it is called atmospheric pressure.

Modern-day scientists made replicas of the toe and volunteers who were missing the same toe tried them out, demonstrating that the mummy’s toe must have been crucial for balance and locomotion. The replacement toe is evidence of sophisticated medical technology. Modern-day medical sleuths obtained computerized tomog- A wooden toe on an ancient Egyptian mummy reveals sophisticated knowledge of human anatomy and physiology from long ago. raphy (CT) scans of the remnants of the mummy. They detected poor mineral content in the toe, plus calcium deposits in the largest blood vessel, the aorta, suggesting impaired circulation to the feet.

As a result, the pressure in the vessels increases. Chapter 13 (pp. 361–362) discusses regulation of blood pressure in more detail. Human physiology offers many other examples of homeostatic mechanisms. All work by the same general process as the two preceding examples. Just as anatomical terms are used repeatedly throughout this book, so can the basic principles of a homeostatic mechanism be applied to the different organ systems. Homeostatic mechanisms maintain a relatively constant internal environment, yet physiological values may vary slightly in a person from time to time or from one individual to the next.
