difference in skin and blood temperature from the ‘set point’ e.g. 36.7 °C‚ will be recognised as an error. The anterior hypothalamus recognises this and has a heat loss centre that sends messages to the effectors which are nerve impulses and hormonal messages. These impulses and messages are released to the required area to signal

cells‚ are specialized to capture specific forms of energy- whether heat‚ light‚ chemical‚ or mechanical (1). The environmental cues that are detected by our receptors on the surface of our body are then transformed into electrical signals‚ or nerve impulses‚ that can be sent to the brain for processing. This ensures communication between the environment and our internal system‚ specifically‚ our brain. For instance‚ if we touch a very hot surface‚ the receptors on that area of our body recognize

“The structures of body systems are determined by their functions”. Discuss this statement‚ focussing on the Circulatory System. You should include diagrams and relevant examples in your essay. In order to survive it is necessary for every cell in the body to exchange materials as not all cells are in contact with the external environment; we rely on the circulatory system to do this which is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. The heart consists of four chambers two atria and two ventricles

usually not the brightest things‚ and chalked it up to hormones. Now‚ however‚ there is proof that the immature acts of teenagers have a physiological cause behind them. The nerve endings in their brains are not protected adequately yet to prevent them from acting on every little impulse without regard for the consequences. The nerve endings have a covering‚ called myelin‚ which develop over time and teenagers just have not had enough time to be protected from themselves. This developmental process

and responds‚ resulting in a change to an internal variable 5. Summarize the connection between the integumentary system and the nervous system. The sensory receptors in the integumentary system communicate with the brain and spinal cord via the nerves (the three parts of the nervous system). 6. Using the stomach as an example‚ illustrate the four biological levels of organization as a human. The stomach is composed of individual cells. Cells of the same type that perform a common function make

two extensions. Bipolar cells are specialized sensory neurons for the transmission of special senses. As such‚ they are part of the sensory pathways for smell‚ sight‚ taste‚ hearing and vestibular functions They are found in the vestibulocochlear nerve‚ but reference to bipolar neurons is usually to cells in the retina. A unipolar cell is a type of neuron in which only one protoplasmic process (neurite) extends from the cell body. Most neurons are multipolar‚ generating several dendrites and an
