When it is cold outside and the temperature drops‚ your body thermo receptors detect the drop and send signals to the hypothalamus. Neurons also send signals to smooth the walls of the blood vessels to make them contract‚ which creates a narrowing in the blood vessel also known as “vasoconstriction”. What vasoconstriction

Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the

There are two forms of homeostasis‚ positive feedback and negative feedback. The type of feedback which is most common is negative feedback. This works by making the levels that have changed return back to normal. Positive feedback is the least common type of feedback. This is where one component escalates to another which continues to escalate to another. In positive feedback the level of control the component does not return to normal straight away. Negative feedback is usually what happens inside

Essay Describe and evaluate the synaptic homeostasis model of sleep The synaptic homeostasis model of sleep (Tononi & Cirelli‚ 2003) explains memory consolidation as a by-product of synaptic downscaling that occurs during sleep. This essay will describe the synaptic homeostasis model of sleep and evaluate how valid its predictions are in the face of empirical research. According to this model‚ synaptic potentiation is associated with the homeostatic regulation of slow wave activity‚ which
