Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? -------------------------The normal rat 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The thyroidectomized rat had a lower baseline metabolic rate beause the removal of its thyroid gland prevented it

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

in charge of all bodily functions and is central to the nervous system. The nervous system controls the bodies involuntary and voluntary movements. The brain and the central nervous system are closely connected and one could not function without the other. Electrical impulses travel through our body through nerve pathways to and from the brain. These electrical impulses are signals that tell out body how to function. When the nervous system is functioning correctly our body easily maintains homeostasis

Description This course is designed to expose you to the underlying physiological mechanisms of behavior. Physiological psychology is a complex but fascinating field of study. It explores the relationship between our biological systems and behavior. Structure and function of the nervous system from the neuron to the brain‚ as well as the interrelationships between the brain and such behaviors as eating‚ sleeping‚ learning‚ memory‚ emotion‚ and mental disorders will be discussed using examples from the behavior
