Organization of the human body Human anatomy and physiology – study of the structure and function of the human body. Anatomy- the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the human body. Physiology – The scientific discipline that investigates the process of functions of living things. 6 Structural levels 1. Chemical level – atoms combine to form molecules 2. Cell level – Molecule form organelles 3. Tissue level – similar and surrounding material make up tissues

Enkephalins and Endorphins Do you have an experience that you cut your finger‚ it is painful in the few minutes‚ after that‚ it stops that feeling. Do you know why? This related a kind of hormone called opioid peptides. Their function is as j nanalgesic hormones. Opioid neuropeptides were first discovered in 1974 by two independent groups of investigators: John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz of Scotland isolated — from the brain of a pig，called enkephalins.1 Around the same time‚ in a calf brain‚

helps regulate and maintain various body functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones‚ chemical messengers. The major areas of control and integration include responses to stress and injury‚ growth and development‚ absorption of nutrients‚ energy metabolism‚ water and electrolyte balance‚ reproduction‚ birth‚ and lactation. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. These glands include

BEH/ 225 Week 2 Day 4 CheckPoint: Heredity and Hormones The genetic makeup of hereditary can impact the human behavior and heredity is already present in your genes. May be you will show such behavior because of hereditary once in a day but it is always there. However‚ the behavior can change which creates the contrast from heredity and such cases arise in the case of the changes in the hormonal balance in the body because of diet changes. The smallest of the endocrine gland which is located

endocrine control Two major systems evolved to communicate and coordinate body functions Nervous system Endocrine system Hormones are carried through the blod to distant target tissue where they are recognized by specific‚ high-affinity receptors These receptors may be located either on the surface of target tissue‚ within the cytosol‚ or in the target cell’s nucleus Once a hormone is recognized by its target tissue or tissues‚ it can exert its biologic action by a process known as signal transduction

the fact that women are going into menopause‚ while men are still at risk they don’t have the increased testosterone drive to push their abilities like when they were younger. Women over 55 began all the necessary changes in their body including hormone shifts and chemical imbalances. This could be a reason for why their heart attack rate becomes more even with men. Based on these results and my hypothesis‚ I believe more work should be put into studying the results of hormonal and chemical changes
