The respiratory system is composed of the nasal cavity‚ nostril‚ oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ carina of trachea‚ right main bronchus‚ right lung‚ left main bronchus‚ left lung‚ and diaphragm. These major organs collectively work together to give the body oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide as we breathe. In order for the respiratory system to be fully capable of function‚ four procedures (pulmonary ventilation‚ external respiration‚ transport of respiratory gases‚ internal respiration)

1. Explain how adaption relates to our thermoreceptors and touch receptors. How we feel cold only when something cools or warms the thermoreceptor and not by the absolute temperature. We are accustomed to a particular level of warmth and adapt to it. What is referred pain and how can it be dangerous? Referred pain is when something‚ usually internal organs‚ cause some other part of the body to feel the pain. It can be dangerous if someone with a heart attack have pain in their arm‚

gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin molecules‚ inside the follicle cell. (www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/thyroid/chem.html) This hormone regulates growth and controls the rate of chemical reactions in the body.

In humans‚ melatonin is produced by the pineal gland‚ a small endocrine gland located in the center of the brain but outside the blood–brain barrier‚ Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is inhibited by light to the retina and permitted by darkness. Its onset each evening is called the dim-light melatonin onset
