Homeostasis literally means “same state” and it refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed. The importance of this cannot be over-stressed‚ as it allows enzymes etc to be ‘fine-tuned’ to a particular set of conditions‚ and so to operate more efficiently. Much of the hormone system and autonomic nervous systems is dedicated to homeostasis‚ and their action is coordinated by the hypothalamus. In Module 2 we saw how

INTRODUCTION — In almost all cases‚ hyponatremia results from the intake (either oral or intravenous) and subsequent retention of water [1]. A water load will‚ in normal subjects‚ be rapidly excreted as the dilutional fall in plasma osmolality suppresses the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)‚ thereby allowing the excretion of a dilute urine. The maximum rate of water excretion on a regular diet is over 10 liters per day‚ thereby providing an enormous range of protection against the development

The reproductive system is a collection of internal and external organs (male and female) that work together for the purpose of recreating. Many scientists argue that the reproductive system is the most important system in the body. Without the reproductive system we would not be able to reproduce. 1 For the male reproductive system there are two major parts: testes‚ where the sperm is produced and the penis. In males the penis and urethra belong to both the urinary system and reproductive system

Endocrine Vs Nervous System The endocrine system acts with nervous system to coordinate the body’s activities. Both systems enable cells to communicate with others by using chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their
