It is amazing how some systems in our body works together in situations to help us to have the ability to react and be alert of our surroundings such as being in danger or suffering from stress which is an important factor of many health problems. The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something

does this change correlate to changes in the nerve? There was little change in effect of increasing the voltage. The action potential increased slightly. There was a small increase in the repolarization and a slightly lower resting potential. 4. How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod compare to that generated with the heated rod? The action potential generated with the unheated rod was similar to that generated with the heated rod. The heated rod made a slightly larger

PET 3351 Exercise Physiology Second Exam Review (Fall 2012) Chapter IV: The Physiological Basis of Muscular Strength and Flexibility 1. Strength is operationally defined as the maximal force that can be exerted in a single effort. Using this definition‚ strength should be assessed using one repetition maximum (1 RM)‚ though we often estimate strength using tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation‚ emphasis should be given to both the concentric

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous
