The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine

is Exercise Physiology? Exercise physiology is a scientific discipline that focuses on how an organism responds to exercise. Exercise represents one of the greatest stresses that an organism can encounter. Therefore exercise represents an outstanding model for studying human and animal physiology. Most people are familiar with the study of exercise physiology as it relates to sport performance. However‚ in the last several decades it has become apparent that the study of exercise physiology

BTEC BIOLOGY ASSIGNMENT 3 TASK 1 HOMEOSTASIS Homeostasis can be defined as a point of balance or internal equilibrium that all kind of system both living and non-living can work to keep themselves in this state of balance. Mechanisms of homeostasis in human body Temperature Regulation: If your body too hot or cold‚ there are several ways in which your temperature can be controlled. They involve sweating‚ shivering‚ capillaries and hairs. As we learn in the class when your body becomes; Too

supply of glucose and oxygen for the cells to use for cellular respiration (Aerobic Respiration happens eventually with the mitochondria in the cells producing A.T.P-Adenosine Triphosphate). Anabolism (Anaerobic Metabolism) will occurs after vigorous exercise when demand for glucose and oxygen cannot be met by the body‚ cells then breakdown proteins to produce energy. This occurs after the body has used up stored glucose called glycogen from the liver. The bi product of this reaction creates lactic acid
