The Effects of Temperature‚ Acetylcholine‚ and Adrenaline on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Hieu Duong 6 April 2011 Introduction The heart is a muscular organ that constantly pumps blood throughout the human body. The continuous flow of blood creates a system for vital organs within the body to gain oxygen and nutrients. The timely delivery of oxygen to the body’s organs is very crucial. Brain cells‚ for example‚ will die within minutes if the flow of oxygen is obstructed. For the

What Are Apocrine Glands? Apocrine glands are located in the skin‚ breasts‚ eyelids‚ and ears. They are a type of exocrine gland‚ which are glands that secrete hormones into a duct. Counterparts of exocrine glands are endocrine glands that secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Certain endocrine glands also release hormones called pancrines that affect only specifically targeted cells very close to where they are released. Examples of endocrine glands are the pituitary gland‚ pancreas

Homeostasis literally means “same state” and it refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed. The importance of this cannot be over-stressed‚ as it allows enzymes etc to be ‘fine-tuned’ to a particular set of conditions‚ and so to operate more efficiently. Much of the hormone system and autonomic nervous systems is dedicated to homeostasis‚ and their action is coordinated by the hypothalamus. In Module 2 we saw how

can be reversed. (Hettiaratchy & Dziewulski‚ 2004) Damage to the epidermal barrier allows bacterial invasion and external fluid loss; damaged tissues often become edematous‚ further enhancing volume loss. Heat loss can be significant because thermoregulation of the damaged dermis is absent‚ particularly in wounds that are exposed. Cytokine and other inflammatory mediators release at the site of injury has a systemic effect once the burn reaches 30% of total body surface area. Classifications The

While termites are commonly known‚ especially in Australia‚ as "white ants"‚ they are for practical purposes unrelated to the ants. Like ants‚ and some bees and wasps—which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera—termites divide labor among castes‚ produce overlapping generations and take
