animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is cold‚ its heart rate will lower. When the animal is warmer‚ the heart rate will raise – as long as the temperature isn’t sufficiently high to harm the animal. (Campbell‚ 2005) Alcohol is a depressant. This means that body systems will slow down when alcohol is introduced. In particular‚ the heart rate will get consistently

neurotransmitters. Nerve cells are the basic functioning component in the nervous system. Every part of the system is comprised of neurons that collect and distribute information to make the body function. All neurons consist of four main components; a soma‚ dendrites‚ an axon and its terminals. The soma is a cell

The known system of bodily manipulation is called the Autonomic Nervous System or ANS in short dubbed form. It pervades every inch of human body and has control over organs and tissues in it. The said system is a type of control that’s directly linked to human will and is subjective to human consciousness. Humans are epitome of creation and are known for their

communication systems in the brain The Nervous System and the Endocrine System Nervous System: extensive network of nerve cells that carry messages in pulses of electrical and chemical energy throughout the body. This is the network that first comes to your rescue by accelerating you heart and tensing your muscles for action. Endocrine System: a slower acting communication network that sends a follow up message that supports and sustains that support the emergency response initiated by the nervous system

This perspective shows the psychologist which areas of systems interact to influence behavior. Humans are biopsychosocial systems‚ in which biological‚ psychological‚ and social-cultural factors interact to influence our behavior. NEURAL COMMUNICATION 2-2: What are neurons‚ and how do they transmit information? Neurons are the basic components of the nervous system. The body uses these neurons in its electrochemical information system rather quickly. A neuron receives signals through its dendrites

Joyce Avedesian Environmental Stimulus and Physical Effects on Patellar Reflex May 8‚ 2014 Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to monitor our body’s reaction to stimulation and see how our nervous system‚ specifically the somatic nervous system can affect the patellar reflex. “The patellar reflex‚ also known as the knee jerk reflex is an example of a simple two neuron‚ monosynaptic reflex arc”(Marieb‚ Mitchell and Smith‚ 2014). We tested the strength of the knee
