It also plays a role in anchoring the cytoskeleton provide shape to the cell‚ and in attaching to the extracellular matrix and other cells to help group cells together to form tissues. The plasma membrane helps maintain homeostasis by diffusion and osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane. Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. When there is an excess amount of a substance inside

The human body requires homeostasis to keep a set point at a constant. With feedback loops‚ the internal environment of the body can achieve to keep it at the set point. All homeostatic mechanisms use a feedback loop to inform the body about any changes that occur externally or internally. There are two different kinds of homeostatic mechanisms: a positive feedback mechanism and a negative feedback mechanism. Positive feedback mechanisms boost physiological processes and amplify the system’s action

Drug Addiction Introduction There are many people and organizations in our culture that are trying very hard to make sure that Drug Addiction is NOT seen as a disease or as the result of genetic or biological predisposition. These people have a strong personal and social interest in an entirely nonphysiological model of addictive human behavior. Their perspective of social problems is based primarily on a philosophical orientation with a social perspective‚ heralding socio-political correctness

Since I don’t want to be here I just am writing this up because I need to have a speech done tomorrow on this and I can’t find out what extacy is about so I will just sit here and write Extacy is an illegal synthetic‚ or designer‚ drug. Designer drugs mimic an already illegal drug by slightly altering the chemical composition. Extacy is also called MDMA (Extacy)‚ which stands for methylenedioxymethamphetamine. The amount of MDMA (Extacy) needed to get "high" is close to the toxic dose. Extacy
