Chapter 46: Organization of endocrine control Two major systems evolved to communicate and coordinate body functions Nervous system Endocrine system Hormones are carried through the blod to distant target tissue where they are recognized by specific‚ high-affinity receptors These receptors may be located either on the surface of target tissue‚ within the cytosol‚ or in the target cell’s nucleus Once a hormone is recognized by its target tissue or tissues‚ it can exert its biologic action by

Put a human in nature and they are among‚ if not the weakest‚ animals. We have no protective furs or skin modifications‚ our strength is laughable in comparison to the lions and gorillas of the world‚ and the endurance is not significant enough for survival without food and water for even a week. Needless to say we didn’t become the powerful force that we are today by using our muscles. That idea‚ that humanity came to dominate earth as we know it not by any special physical attribute; but by the

TWO-PROCESS THEORIES AND STROOP EFFECT: STUDYING THE EFFECT OF COLOUR CORRELATED WORDS (IV) vs. NEUTRAL WORDS WHEN RECORDING RESPONSE TIMES (DV) FOR IDENTIFYING THE INK COLOUR IN WHICH A WORD IS PRINTED. Abstract The idea of two-process theories and the Stroop effect are assessed in this experiment. The intention is to look for a predicted pattern between the response times of two separate conditions; one using a list of words that are colour related‚ such as “lemon” and another list of words which

“manifesting with obsessions and compulsions.” The obsessions are the “intrusive‚ recurrent‚ persistent‚ and unwanted thoughts‚” while compulsions are the “repetitive behaviors or mental acts” (Bokor & Anderson‚ 2014). The orbitofrontal cortex‚ basal ganglia‚ and anterior cingulate gyrus are involved in the pathophysiology in the brain that contributes to the heterogeneity of OCD. A malfunction of the brain’s circuit cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical is suggested to be a primary cause of OCD‚ although genetics

Attachment‚ commitment‚ intimacy‚ passion‚ grief from separation‚ and jealousy are but a few of the emotionally-loaded terms used by Dianne Santorelli’s article for the educational research to describe that feeling of which love represents. On the contrary‚ Maskowitz and Orgel states in the book‚ General Psychology‚ that love‚ hate‚ fear ‚ and anger are just some of the amazing varieties of feelings which appear to be related to the differential actions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches

Human Physiology/Senses ← The Nervous System — Human Physiology — The Muscular System → Senses Are the physiological methods of perception. The senses and their operation‚ classification‚ and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields. Sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. What are Senses? We experience reality through our senses. A sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. Many neurologists disagree about how many senses

many features. The eyes are the organs of sight and one of our special senses. Vision is our one of our dominant sense: 70% of all the sensory receptors in the body are in the eyes‚ and almost half of the cerebral cortex is involved in some aspect of the visual processing. Only the anterior one sixth of the eye is visible. (Martini‚ 2009) The accessory structures of the eye include the eyebrows‚ eyelid‚ conjuctiva‚ lacrimal apparatus‚
