SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell

Endocrine system Endocrinology is the study of chemical communication systems that provide the means to control a huge number of physiologic processes. Like other communication networks‚ endocrine systems contain transmitters‚ signals and receivers that are called‚ respectively‚ hormone producing cells‚ hormones and receptors. The first step in understanding endocrinology is to explore the meaning of such terms as hormone‚ receptor and target cell‚ and to obtain an understanding of how chemical

neurogenic shock (Huether & Mccance‚ 2012). Septic shock results from bacteria that multiply in the blood and then releases toxins that decrease blood pressure‚ thus‚ impairing blood flow to cells‚ tissues and organs. It is an acute infection‚ usually systemic‚ that overwhelms the body (toxic shock syndrome) (Huether & Mccance‚ 2012). This poisonous release of toxins is usually caused by pneumonia‚ urinary tract infection‚ skin infections‚ ruptured appendix‚ etc. (Shiel‚ 2013). Symptoms of septic shock
