The Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Skin Abstract The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel located in the central and peripheral nervous system; it has also been detected on a variety of other cells. In the periphery‚ it is found on autonomic neurons and on neurons of the sensory and enteric nervous system. In the CNS‚ the 5-HT3 receptor has been localized in the area postrema‚ nucleus tractus solitarii‚ nucleus vaudatus‚ nucleus accumbens‚ amygdala‚ hippocampus‚ entorhinal‚

Enzymes are organic catalysts‚ usually proteins that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity:

[pic] THE KNIFE by Richard Selzer One holds the knife as one holds the bow of a cello or a tulip: by the stem. Not palmed nor gripped nor grasped‚ but lightly‚ with the tips of the fingers. The knife is not for pressing. It is for drawing across the field of skin. Like a slender fish‚ it waits‚ at the ready‚ then‚ go! It darts‚ followed by a fine wake of red. The flesh parts‚ falling away to yellow globules of fat. Even now‚ after so many times‚ I still marvel at its power--cold‚

D2. Explain the importance of homeostasis in maintaining the healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is vital for the maintenance of healthy functioning of the body. It is important the body keeps to a narrow range of variables‚ and without it ‚ chemical reactions and metabolic processes within the body cannot be carried out properly‚ which can cause disease and complications. If the body cannot maintain its temperature‚ this can cause the person to overheat‚ resulting in hyperthermia. This
