1. Thermoreceptors perceive the impact of heat on the part of human body and send signals through neurons to brain that causes the feeling of pain. If the signals fail to pass from thermoreceptors to brain‚ the risk of burning the part of the body arises. The pain is the indicator of the danger to human body and the ultimate manifestation of pain is a pain shock‚ which may be deadly for human body. 2. Olfaction is responsible for smell sense. Gustation is responsible for taste. They involve chemical

Homeostasis in the Human Body Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within tolerance limits‚ this is the restricted range of conditions where cellular operations effectively work at a consistent rate and maintain life. These conditions include temperature‚ blood glucose levels‚ pupil diameter control and many more. The body is made up of many cells. Many specialized cells group up to form a tissue. Tissues group up to form organs‚ these organs can then connect to form

This system gives the body form and support‚ and protects the body while allowing it to move. Basically‚ the muscles in this system perform three important body functions: the movement of body parts‚ maintenance of body parts‚ and production of body heat. These muscles all consist of a mass of protein fibers grouped together‚ and most are of mesodermal origin. And almost all of the muscle fibers you will ever have or need were present at birth. Nearly half of your body mass is muscles‚ the largest

Introduction We know a lot about the human anatomy‚ its physiology‚ and how to treat the diseases that tend to disturb the balance between them‚ but‚ that was not always the case. It has really been that only in the past few centuries‚ scientists were able to dissect and experiment on other humans. Such experiments were the main contributors to our current knowledge in some fields of science‚ especially medicine. Dissections performed on rabbits‚ mice‚ chimpanzees‚ and other animals‚ along with some
