Significance of Water for Foundation of Dissipative Regulation of a Living Organism | Chapter 3 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 9

Water regulates homeostasis and supports metabolism by maintaining the balance of “bound-free” water phases. Dissipative processes of self-organization occur in both living and non-living matter. The same laws govern living and non-living matter, but the mechanism of their manifestation is different. The distinctive feature of living matter is “functional information,” which is an attribute characteristic only of living matter. The ideas of synergetics of self-organization are widespread in modern science. On their basis, the unity of living and non-living nature and the unity of micro- and macrocosms are established—the unity of the two opposites of chaos and order. Functional information is a purposeful indication of the change in the structural-functional state of the living matter. Feedback plays an essential role in self-organization and the dynamic balance of dissipative systems. Self-organization is based on positive feedback (PF). Dynamic equilibrium of the system is ensured by negative feedback (NF). There is a constant competitiveness between the two typ es of feedback - PF and NF. In biological systems, the balance of PF and NF is maintained based on auto-oscillatory homeostasis processes. In the hydration-dehydration processes of biopolymers, the dynamics of the ratio of bound to free water phases coincides with the regulating role of homeostasis. Water sustains the balance of the bound-free water phase ratio, which in turn maintains homeostasis.

Dissipative Regulation in a Human Body | Chapter 1 |Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 9

Inter-organic and functional synchronization and dissipative regulation are carried out through humoral structures (blood, lymph). Neuronal structures also function with the participation of dissipative regulation. The functioning of a living body, maintaining the dynamic stability of its homeostasis, is provided by regulatory systems. Traditionally, such systems include the nervous and humoral systems of regulation. The third regulatory system of the body, which provides communication in the body, distance interactions according to the "informational" principle, is not considered. For this reason, the understanding of the law of nature – “substance-energy-information”, uniting the foundations of any matter, is very limited in biology. Synergetics is a science that explores the self-organization of complex systems and processes, combining different interdisciplinary areas of science. Moreover, these complex systems and processes are dissipative, i.e., exchange with the environment substance, energy, information. Therefore, the rules and postulates of Synergetics, as a science of the self-organization of matter, in the understanding of modern scientists are far from real processes occurring in matter "here and now." This article provides a summary of the basic rules and principles of the interaction of Matter, Energy and Information, which is the basis of the third regulation mechanism in the human body.
