It is easy person to point their finger at big industrial and chemical plants and blame them for the cause of so much pollution in our water. When taking a closer look‚ those same people pointing the finger are equally contributing to the pollution of our water supply and are also to blame. This person could be a friend‚ family member‚ classmate‚ or even you. Even if people do not think that they have a part in this‚ most do.

BASIC CONCEPTS ENDOCRINE SYSTEM :- In physiology‚ the endocrine system is a system of glands‚ each of which secretes a type of hormone into the bloodstream to regulate the body. It derives from the Greek words endo meaning inside‚ within‚ and crinis for secrete. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system. Hormones are substances (chemical mediators) released from endocrine tissue into the bloodstream that attach to target tissue and allow communication among

The cardiovascular system is the organ system surrounding the heart‚ blood‚ and blood vessels. One of the most important things that help with homeostasis when dealing with hypertension is the negative feedback system. The system works to maintain a constant balance. If there is an issue in the body’s homeostasis‚ the body reacts with the

response was designed for survival and is regulated by both the neural and endocrine (hormonal) systems. Fundamentally‚ both systems are communication systems that receive sensory information from various sources (eyes‚ ears‚ skin‚ blood‚ etc.) and transmit appropriate responses to specific targets once information has been processed to re-establish balance. The nervous system is a rapid-acting‚ but short-lived communication system that functions by transmitting nerve impulses – it reacts very quickly

This paper will explain hormones and the endocrine system‚ glands associated with the endocrine system‚ behavior genetics‚ and evolutionary psychology. The endocrine system is the system of the body in which releases hormones into the bloodstream. The hormones then cause different reactions within the body‚ and these reactions shape part of human behavior. There

Both olfaction and gustation are chemosensory systems. Chemoreception means a molecule from the environment binds to a receptor on a cell’s surface. The receptor is shaped to receive and then respond when a specific type of molecule binds. This binding triggers a signal with the information about

It is amazing how some systems in our body works together in situations to help us to have the ability to react and be alert of our surroundings such as being in danger or suffering from stress which is an important factor of many health problems. The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something

The glands that secrete hormones are part of the endocrine system (pituitary‚ thyroid‚ adrenals and pancreas‚ to name a few) and work in large part to keep the body’s natural balance in check.
