word and that is BALANCE.
2. Stand on one leg, and ask them Is this balance?
3. Can anyone give me some example of balanceAnything!
4. For all the examples you have stated, why balance is important?
i. Yes thats right. Thats why the topic I am going to report to
you is all about Maintenance of our internal balance, which
results to our survival. Or how our body has to maintain
balance for survival.

6. Homeostatic regulation involves three parts or mechanisms:
1) the receptor, 2) the control center and 3) the effector.
7. The receptor receives information that something in the environment is
changing. The control center or integration center receives and processes
information from the receptor. And lastly, the effector responds to the
commands of the control center by either opposing or enhancing the
stimulus.
8. Thirst:
It is an essential mechanism involved in fluid balance. Our body uses
sensation of thirst to avoid dehydration. It is an alarm signal that goes off
every time the body begins to experience a lack of water.

9. Extracellular Thirst:
The purpose of this thirst is to compel rapid intake of water to
bring the volume of blood and extracellular fluid back to normal. The
elimination of a large quantity of liquid must be accompanied by the
loss of a large quantity of salt. Salt is part of the bodys defense
system because it fights dehydration.
Extracellular Fluid
Any fluid not contained within cells, which includes plasma, int
erstitial fluid and any fluid contained within anatural cavity.
10. Intracellular Thirst:
The cells lose water, and the resulting water deficiency triggers
a sensation of thirst. And it is called osmotic or intracellular thirst
because it is the water inside the cells that is lacking.
Intracellular Fluid
Intracellular fluid contains water and dissolved solutes and
proteins. The solutes are electrolytes, which are essential to
maintain healthy body functions. Intracellular fluids are high in
potassium and magnesium and low in sodium and chloride ions.
11. Hunger:
External social factors based on societal rules and on what we
have learned about appropriate eating behavior also play an
important role because we tend to eat on schedule every day,
we feel hungy as the usual hour approaches, sometimes quite
independently of what our internal cues are telling us.
And the fullness we feel after a meal is at least in part a
product of learning and it is called Conditioned Satiety.
12.Who among you here experienced that when you are hungry, and when
you eat the food tastes better?
i. That phenomenon is called Alliesthesia.

13. Obesity is a complex disorder involving an excessive amount of body fat.

Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It increases your risk of diseases and
health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
14.Anorexia nervosa
Many people with anorexia nervosa see themselves as overweight,
even when they are clearly underweight. Eating, food, and weight control
become obsessions. People with anorexia nervosa typically weigh
themselves repeatedly, portion food carefully, and eat very small
quantities of only certain foods. Some people with anorexia nervosa may
also engage in binge-eating followed by extreme dieting, excessive
exercise, self-induced vomiting, and/or misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or
enemas.
15. Bulimia nervosa
Patients with bulimia nervosa have recurrent and frequent episodes
of eating unusually large amounts of food and feeling a lack of control
over these episodes. This binge-eating is followed by behavior that
compensates for the overeating such as forced vomiting, excessive use of
laxatives or diuretics, fasting, excessive exercise, or a combination of
these behaviors.
16. Binge-eating disorder
With binge-eating disorder a person loses control over his or her
eating. Unlike bulimia nervosa, periods of binge-eating are not followed
by purging, excessive exercise, or fasting. As a result, people with bingeeating disorder often are over-weight or obese. People with binge-eating
disorder who are obese are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular
disease and high blood pressure. They also experience guilt, shame, and
distress about their binge-eating, which can lead to more binge-eating.

17. This article offers objectification theory as a framework for

understanding the experiential consequences of being female in a culture
that sexually objectifies the female body. Objectification theory posits
that girls and women are typically acculturated to internalize an
observer's perspective as a primary view of their physical selves. This
perspective on self can lead to habitual body monitoring, which, in turn,
can increase women's opportunities for shame and anxiety, reduce
opportunities for peak motivational states, and diminish awareness of
internal bodily states. Accumulations of such experiences may help
account for an array of mental health risks that disproportionately affect
women: unipolar depression, sexual dysfunction, and eating disorders.
Objectification theory also illuminates why changes in these mental
health risks appear to occur in step with life-course changes in the female
body.
Cultural pressures that glorify thinness or muscularity and place value
on obtaining the perfect body
Narrow definitions of beauty that include only women and men of specific
body weights and shapes
Cultural norms that value people on the basis of physical appearance and
not inner qualities and strengths
Stress related to racial, ethnic, size/weight-related or other forms of
discrimination or prejudice
18. Biological Causes
Research provides strong evidence for an inherited predisposition
(tendency) toward developing an eating disorder. In other words, eating
disorders are often biologically inherited and tend to run in families.
Recent research suggests that inherited biological and genetic factors
contribute approximately 56% of the risk for developing an eating
disorder.
