Some internal and external factors that contribute to changes in HR are thermo-regulatory changes‚ diurnal changes and sudden postural changes‚ which are among others such as the Autonomic Nervous system‚ circulating chemicals‚ position‚ exercise‚ emotional state‚ gender‚ age and baroreceptor reflex (Waugh & Grant 2010). During a recent research Armstrong‚ Kenny‚ Green and Seely (2011) discovered slight diurnal changes in heart

In psychology‚ sensation and perception are stages of processing of the senses in human and animal systems‚ such as vision‚ auditory‚ vestibular‚ and pain senses. Included in this topic is the study of illusions such as motion aftereffect‚ color constancy‚ auditory illusions‚ and depth perception. Sensation is the function of the low-level biochemical and neurological events that begin with the impinging of a stimulus upon the receptor cells of a sensory organ. It is the detection of the elementary

Introduction: The overall nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ with the autonomic nervous system being a division of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates glands as well as the smooth and cardiac muscle. There are three separate systems within the autonomic nervous system and are called the sympathetic nervous system‚ parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. They are responsible for the ‘fight

NERVOUS SYSTEM The human body’s activities are regulated by two systems – the nervous system and the endocrine system. Although both systems control body functions‚ their methods differ. The nervous system is the body’s information gatherer‚ storage center and control system. Its primary function is to collect information about the external conditions in relation to the body’s external state‚ to analyze this information‚ and to initiate appropriate responses to satisfy certain needs; the most
