Certainly! Here's the updated table with disorders that can affect homeostasis and hemostasis:

Homeostasis vs Hemostasis
Homeostasis vs Hemostasis
Aspect |
Homeostasis |
Hemostasis |
Definition and Purpose |
The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. Involves balancing temperature, pH, electrolyte levels, etc. to support cellular function and organ health. |
The process of controlling bleeding or stopping blood flow after an injury. Involves vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and blood clotting to prevent excessive blood loss and promote wound healing. |
Scope and Applicability |
Applies to the entire body. Aims to maintain overall internal balance and stability. |
Specific to the circulatory system. Activated only in response to vascular injury or trauma. |
Regulation Mechanisms |
Primarily regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. Feedback loops (e.g., negative feedback) maintain stability. |
Relies on vascular constriction, platelet aggregation, and coagulation factors for clot formation and bleeding control. |
Physiological Processes |
Involves monitoring and adjusting factors like body temperature, blood pressure, glucose levels, etc., to maintain a steady state. |
Involves a cascade of events in response to vascular injury, including vascular spasm, platelet activation, platelet plug formation, and blood clotting (coagulation). |
Frequency of Occurrence |
Continuous and essential for the body's normal functioning. |
Activated only when there is damage to blood vessels, such as cuts or injuries. |
Disorders |
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Hypertension
- Hypothermia and Hyperthermia
|
- Hemophilia
- Thrombophilia
- Von Willebrand Disease
- Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
