[1] They are small‚ membrane bounded organelles that have at least fifty different enzymes for several metabolic reactions. [2] Their appearance is like lysosomes; however‚ their main function is oxidation reactions especially oxidation

Questions ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Describe the five stages that comprise the process of sensory processing and the perception of information. a. Sepcific types of stimuli activate specialized receptors (light‚ soind waves‚ chemical molecule‚ pressure) and translate information into nerve impulses b. Specialized neurons break down and and analyze the specific features of the stimuli c. Numerous stumul “pieces’ are reconstructed into a neural representation

control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components: a receptor‚ integrating center‚ and effector. The receptor senses environmental stimuli‚ sending the information to the integrating center. The integrating center‚ generally a region of the brain called the hypothalamus‚ signals an effector (e.g. muscles or an organ) to respond to the stimuli. Positive feedback enhances or accelerates output created by an activated stimulus. Platelet aggregation and accumulation in response to injury

Curcumin has been found to be a potent inhibitor of tumour growth and cell proliferation. This activity is linked to curcumin’s antioxidant effect and free radical scavenging effect (Akram et al‚ 2010). It inhibits cancer development and progression‚ thereby targeting multiple steps to malignancy. It has the ability to act like a blocking agent thereby inhibiting the initiation step of cancer by preventing the activation of carcinogen‚ and also as a suppressing agent thereby inhibiting malignant

eyes and are transformed into information that is relayed‚ from cell to cell‚ to regions that process visual input and attach meaning and memory. When inside cells‚ the information takes the form of an electrical signal. To cross the tiny intercellular gap that separates one cell from the next‚ the information takes the form of a chemical signal. The specialized chemicals that carry the signals across the intercellular gaps‚ or synapses‚ are called neurotransmitters. The ebb and flow of neurotransmitters—neurotransmission—is

blocking drug‚ attaches to the chemical messenger receptor‚ also called a neurotransmitter receptor‚ at the motor end plate and changes the receptor to prevent the binding of acetylcholine‚ the neurotransmitter‚ to the receptor. When the depolarization occurs‚ when the voltage-sensitive sodium channels feel the depolarization of the membrane it opens and then closes and becomes inactivated. The non-depolarizing agents‚ however‚ do not change the receptor‚ but change

hypothalamus to successfully fulfill this task‚ it must receive inputs about the body’s "state‚" and it must be able to create changes in the body that will correct anything that might be misaligned. The hypothalamus receives inputs from the nucleus of the solitary tract‚ which provides it with information about gut distension and blood pressure. The reticular formation tell the hypothalamus about the body’s skin temperature. Inputs received from the retina go to the suprachiasmatic nucleus‚ a small

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) generally slows down everything but digestion. Signals from the SNS cause the heart rate to _________‚ while signals from the PNS cause the heart rate to ___________. Signals from the SNS cause smooth muscles of the intestine to _________ contractions‚ while signals from the PNS cause these muscles to _________ contractions. Signals from the SNS also cause the adrenal gland to _________ epinephrine and norepinephrine. 3. Neurons
