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

like this; it dilates the pupil‚ accelerates the heartbeat then inhibits the digestion to the stomach‚ pancreas‚ and liver‚ in the pancreas the stimulation of glucose for the liver takes place; subsequently‚ moving on down to the secretion of the epinephrine‚ and norepinephrine; which in turn relaxes the bladder and stimulates ejection for the male. On the other hand‚ the parasympathetic nervous system is the calming part of the body‚ and it is as follows; the pupil contracts and slows down the heartbeat

Chapter 11: Cell Communication Concept 11.1 External signals are converted to responses within the cell. I. Evolution of Cell Signaling 1. signal transduction pathway. a specific cellular response in a series of steps 2. signaling mechanisms first evolved in ancient prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes‚ then adopted for new uses 3. quorum sensing. allows bacterial populations to coordinate behaviors to carry out activities only productive when performed by a given number of cells

the skeletal muscles they innervate. The ANS consists of a two-neuron chain. 3. The neurotransmitter released by the somatic motor neurons is acetylcholine‚ which always has an excitatory effect; the neurotransmitters released by the ANS are epinephrine and acetylcholine‚ and both may have either an excitatory or an

1. What is metabolic absorption? “All the cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their surroundings. Cells of the intestine and the kidney are specialized to carry out absorption. Cells of the kidney tubules reabsorb fluids and synthesize proteins. Intestinal epithelial cells reabsorb fluids and synthesize protein enzymes” (McCance & Huether‚ pg. 2). 2. What uses oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms in an oxidative reaction? “Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain

Chapter 2 Brain and Behavior The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that covers the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be any smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left halves of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing
