Under the External Links button The nervous and endocrine systems maintain homeostasis in the body. The nervous system is a fast but short-lived response that uses neurons and neurotransmitters to change the metabolism of the cells in the body (ex: stimulates muscle contractions). In contrast‚ the endocrine system is a slow but long-lasting

Joint Joints are essential in allowing movement of the human body. They are located at the intersection of bones‚ and their structures determine the type of movement that will occur at that location. Each joint contains components of the skeletal and muscular systems and connective tissues that function together to allow movement to occur. A ball-and-socket joint is one example of a synovial joint. In a ball-and-socket joint‚ the round head of one bone rests within a cup-shaped depression in another

role in many body metabolic functions and processes. Calcium is not only used in the structure of bones and teeth‚ but it is required in many other body functions including‚ but not limited to‚ cardiac action potentials‚ the contraction of cardiac‚ skeletal and smooth muscle‚ blood clotting‚ and the transmission of neural impulses (Edwards‚ 58). Calcium ions are necessary in the process of muscle contraction. When muscles contract‚ the constituent fibers shorten. The nerve impulses which lead to the

groups of structures that work together to perform a common task. Such a group is known as an organ system . There are 11 basic organ systems: Integumentary System – external covering of the body; the skin . Skeletal System – body’s internal framework; the bones . Muscular System – body’s means

or principal tissue types: epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle‚ and nervous” (p. 8). Each of these tissue types differ in the roles they perform‚ but the body needs all of them working together to fulfill structural and functional needs and maintain homeostasis. One can determine tissue type by examining and comparing shape and arrangement of cell structure‚ amount of matrix and the material within it‚ and location of the tissue. Analysis of the epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous tissues will
