What Is Neurotransmitter? Neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released from a nerve cell which thereby transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to another nerve‚ muscle‚ organ or other tissue. (Webster new world medicine dictionary. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9973) What are Hormones? Hormones are chemicals that carry messages from organs of your body to your cells. The glands that secrete hormones are part of the endocrine system (pituitary‚ thyroid‚ adrenals

designed to study the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate. Studying the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate yields understanding of how homeostasis is achieved in humans. This knowledge creates opportunity to discover more effective ways to return the human body to optimal functioning‚ rather than a reliance on natural processes. This experiment measured the change in skin temperature and heart rate of a chosen subject for four two-minute intervals of intense exercise

Does caffeine affect heart rate? Background Information: Caffeine is a bitter white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug. A German chemist‚ Friedrich Ferdinand Runge‚ discovered it in 1819. Plants produce caffeine as an insecticide. It is found in varying quantities in the beans‚ leaves‚ and fruit of over 60 plants‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyses and kills certain insects feeding on the plants.

Aerobic Exercise on Heart Rate Introduction: Our bodies need to be in balance in order to function properly‚ and there are many ways the body maintains balance‚ or homeostasis. Homeostasis is the maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment. Our normal heart rate is an example of our body in homeostasis and any sort of change‚ or stimulus‚ can alter it. Exercise‚ adrenaline in the blood‚ and a low blood pH are all stimuli that increase the heart rate. Exercise‚ for example

athletes and bodybuilders to increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)‚ which gives them the energy they need to perform. In this experiment‚ creatine is added to water and its effects on Daphnia is tested. By observing the heart rate‚ one can determine if the creatine increases or decreases heart rate. Heart rate was chosen to be measured because one can then see how creatine affects the heart. If it is unhealthy for the Daphnia‚ it could potentially be unhealthy for humans. “Long-term

Smiling‚ Neurotransmitters and Endorphins What do smiling‚ neurotransmitters and endorphins have in common? To answer that‚ we envision how we think about ourselves directly and how this reinforces the way we feel physically. Mental thought is the first step towards expressing behaviors. The cells of our bodies respond to the chemical processes that control the way neurotransmitters support brain activity (see: http://www.benbest.com/science/anatmind/anatmd10.html) geared toward the feeling-good
