Requirements for Human Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

8.9K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

31.5K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Body Temperature01:25

Body Temperature

1.2K
The body's temperature, measured in degrees, is determined by the balance between heat production and dissipation to the surrounding environment. For instance, if exercising vigorously, the body will produce more heat, causing sweat and dissipating that heat. Despite extreme environmental conditions and physical exertion, the human temperature-control system maintains a constant core body temperature (the temperature of deep tissues, which are the tissues located beneath the skin and other...

What is Homeostasis?01:16

What is Homeostasis?

40.1K
Maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously maintain its internal conditions. Each physiological condition has a particular set point, from body temperature to blood pressure to levels of certain nutrients. A set point is the physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates. A normal range is a restricted set of values that is optimally healthful and stable. For example, the set point for normal human body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F).

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate02:55

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate

82.7K
The Collision Theory
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Toxicology
  • Ecotoxicology
  • Chemical Risk Assessment

Background:

  • Realistic pesticide risk assessment requires extrapolating lab data to field conditions, including temperature variations.
  • Temperature significantly impacts organism sensitivity to pesticides, yet few models address this.
  • Accurate modeling of pesticide effects necessitates understanding temperature-dependent toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for incorporating physiological temperature dependencies into toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) models.
  • To enhance the accuracy of pesticide risk assessment by accounting for temperature variations in survival predictions.
  • To test the approach using the mayfly Cloeon dipterum exposed to imidacloprid.

Main Methods:

  • Applied physiological temperature dependencies to TKTD parameters within the General Uniformed Threshold model of Survival (GUTS).
  • Utilized temperature-dependent developmental rates of Cloeon dipterum to parameterize the TKTD model.
  • Validated the model by comparing predictions with independent toxicology experiments across a temperature range (7.8–26.4 °C).

Main Results:

  • Successfully transferred a physiologically observed temperature dependency to TKTD parameters.
  • Demonstrated accurate prediction of survival patterns for Cloeon dipterum under varying temperatures and imidacloprid exposure.
  • Validated the model's effectiveness across a broad temperature range.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed approach effectively integrates temperature effects into TKTD-GUTS models for improved pesticide risk assessment.
  • This method enhances the realism of toxicological predictions for aquatic invertebrates.
  • The study provides a robust framework for evaluating pesticide impacts under diverse environmental temperatures.
