Related situations of neurohumoral regulation

In order to regulate our body fluids, we should master some related methods of neurohumoral regulation, which will be very helpful for our daily fluid regulation in the future. We should also pay attention to our daily diet, which will also affect our fluid regulation. How should we adjust our body fluids when they are unbalanced? Let us now learn about the relevant aspects of neurohumoral regulation.

Fluid regulation:

It means that some cells in the body can produce and secrete certain special chemical substances (such as hormones, metabolites, etc.), which are transported through body fluids (blood, tissue fluid, etc.) to reach tissue cells throughout the body or certain special tissue cells, and regulate the activities of these cells by acting on the corresponding receptors on the cells.

It is important to note that the regulation of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is called neuroendocrine regulation, which is also a type of humoral regulation, because ADH is directly secreted by nerve cells (nerve cells in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus).

It should be pointed out that many types of humoral regulation are achieved by influencing hormone secretion through nerves, and then hormones regulate body functions, which is also called neuro-humoral regulation.

In addition to neural and humoral regulation, many tissue cells can also respond adaptively to changes in the surrounding environment. This response is a physiological characteristic of the tissue cells themselves and does not rely on the effects of external neural or humoral factors. This is called autoregulation.

Unicellular animals and some multicellular lower plants only have humoral regulation.

It is the regulation of nerves and body fluids in higher animals. For example, when the temperature of the external environment of the human body suddenly drops, the cold receptors on the skin are stimulated to produce nerve impulses. This impulse is transmitted to the temperature regulation center of the hypothalamus through the afferent nerves, and the temperature regulation center is transmitted to the thyroid gland through the efferent nerves (the above is the neural regulation part). The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones that act on almost all body cells through the blood circulation, speeding up metabolism, generating a lot of heat (this part is the body fluid regulation), and maintaining a constant body temperature.

The above content introduces us to some methods of neurohumoral regulation. We should study the methods of neurohumoral regulation very seriously. None of us can say whether we will have fluid imbalance in the future. Learning more methods will be very helpful for us to protect our own health.
