Dive into the world of human body cells and homeostasis through a unique lens of self-reflection, exploring cell functions, contributions to the organism, and the critical concept of homeostasis. Discover the intricate society of interdependent cells and their roles in maintaining internal stability.

1QQ # 1 Name on top edge, back side of paper Answer on blank side of paper. Answer one of the following: • The 200+ cell types in the human body can be classified into one of 4 cell types or tissue types. List 3 of the 4 types. • List as many items that you can think of that are measured and reported in a CBC (complete blood count.) • Why are CBCs so important to physicians and their patients?

The body: A society of interdependent cells, each type with its own needs and contributions.
The Human Body:A Society of Cells • Imagine you are a cell. Ask yourself: • How did I get here? • What do I do for myself? (What are my special characteristics and functions?) • What do I do for the person in whom I reside? (What are my contributions to the whole organism? To homeostasis?) • What do I need simply to survive? • What do the other cells provide for me that I cannot obtain alone? • What governs my actions? • How long will I live? • Can I be replaced? If so, how? • What would happen to the organism if I along with all the other cells of my type were to fail to function properly?

The Challenge: # 1: Melt these 7 ice cubes as fast as possible. How to do it? # 2: Make these 7 ice cubes last as long as possible? How to do it? These are non-living objects: heat exchanges with the environment but they don’t generate heat from metabolism as living things do!
~37oC • Conduction • Convection • Evaporation • Radiation Metabolism generates heat. Metabolism is variable! In steady state: Heat gain = Heat loss
Modes of Heat Exchange: Conduction Convection Radiation Evaporation ~37oC
