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

The human body is the entire structure of a human being and comprises a head‚ neck‚ trunk (which includes the thorax and abdomen)‚ arms and hands‚ legs and feet. Every part of the body is composed of various types of cell.[1] At maturity‚ the estimated average number of cells in the body is given as 37.2 trillion. This number is stated to be of partial data and to be used as a starting point for further calculations. The number given is arrived at by totalling the cell numbers of all the organs

This assignment will describe the role of energy in the body and explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism. It will explain where energy comes from‚ how the body uses energy‚ what is metabolism/catabolism and anabolism and also it will explain cellular respiration aerobic/anaerobic is. Energy is necessary for muscular activity and movement however‚ energy is also necessary to circulate blood and lymph and tissue fluid throughout the body; for breathing and

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that

The Human Body The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body are body planes and body directions‚ body cavities‚ quadrants and regions‚ anatomy and physiology‚ microscopic to macroscopic‚ body systems and medical specialties. Body planes and body directions are the division of the body into sections from front to back‚ right and left‚ and top and bottom. These sections are called

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

Testable Question: When the body is in the squat position to normal while the time limit stays the same and how far you squat is the same‚ will the heart rate recover after returning to standing position in 10 seconds? Hypothesis: If the body moves back to normal position from squatting position while the time limit
