Daphnia and Additives Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to test what effect of Nicotine‚ Acetylcholine‚ Epinephrine‚ Caffeine‚ and Ethanol on an organism’s heart rate. Materials * Microscope * Eye dropper * Pipet * Cotton balls * Depression slide * Beakers * Daphnia * Water * Five additives: Nicotine‚ Acetylcholine‚ Epinephrine‚ Caffeine‚ Ethanol Procedure 1. Put on safety goggles. 2. Catch a living Daphnia. 3. Transfer to a depression

that ovarian steroid hormones‚ such as estrogen‚ may influence sympathetic nerve activation‚ having a reduced blood flow effect in pre-menopausal women (Cooke: 303). Specifically‚ they state that estrogen may have a “tonic effect on sympathetic nerve traffic‚ a direct effect on adrenergic signaling‚ and/or amplification of adrenergic response by vasoconstrictor prostanoids.” (Cooke: 303). Thus‚ estrogen-influenced reduction of sympathetic nerve stimulation (in turn blood flow to the digits) may be

Assignment 3 Written Essay Questions 1. a) We are able to experience different types of sensations because our nervous system encodes messages. German physiologist Johannes Muller in his doctrine of specific nerve energies described a kind of code which is anatomical. In his doctrine‚ Muller explains that different sensory modalities exist because signals received by the sense organs stimulate different nerve pathways that lead to different areas of the brain. For example‚ when the ear

Contents page The health and specifically mental health of an individual is multi-faceted‚ and is not simply influenced by one or two factors. In order to successfully understand an individual’s mental state it is vital to be able to distinguish between mental health and mental illness. Mental health describes a state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to us their cognitive and emotional capabilities

during exercise. The heart is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. These two systems control the rate of the heart‚ so it is beating enough oxygenated blood around the body to provide respiring muscle tissues with the right amount of oxygen. For example‚ when the body is exercising‚ more oxygen is needed in the muscles‚ so the heart needs to pump faster to accommodate this. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the increase of the heart rate

This is because the cardiac muscle cells depolarize. 4. How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to regulate heart rate? Sympathetic neurons increase the heart rate while the parasympathetic neurons decrease the heart rate and the heart simultaneously receives both neurons signals. 5. What does this tell you about the parasympathetic nervous system in relation to the sympathetic nervous system and hormones? That when one increases the other

How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to regulate heart rate? Sympathetic neurons increase the heart rate while the parasympathetic neurons decrease the heart rate and the heart stimultaneously receives both neurons signals 5.

animal behavior. It covers everything from genetics‚ brain‚ immune system‚ and nervous system. It defines how and why a person is reacting the way they do. Biological perspective for example discusses that a person being aggressive can be due to possible brain damage. Biological perspective explains how your nervous system can be reaction to stress. I will discuss how biological perspective discusses the parasympathetic and sympathetic‚ along with various hormones and how it can impact with stress.

auditory nerve and is composed of three divisions‚ the external ear‚ the middle ear‚ and the inner ear. The greater part of which is enclosed within the temporal bone. The ear is looked upon as a miniature receiver‚ amplifier and signal-processing system. The structure of the outer ear catching sound waves as they move into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then hit the eardrum and the pressure of the air causes the drum to vibrate back and forth. When the eardrum vibrates its neighbour
