1. Neurons is a basic building block of the nervous system. The sensory nerves carry the message from body tissues to the brain and spinal chord to be processed. The motor neurons are then used to send instructions to the body tissue from the brain and spinal cord. Dendrites, which are connected to the body cell (soma) receive information and pass it through the axon. Myelin sheath covers the axon and helps speed the process. When triggered by a signals from our senses or other neurons, the neuron fires an impulse called the action potential. The resting potential is the neuron’s visual charge of positive

Another example described how it would take a machine the size of a refrigerator in order to imitate the functioning of our kidneys. This book really highlights how our natural body is far superior to any mechanical iteration that our best work can fabricate.

have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species' organism. The human body

The anterior pituitary produces at least six different hormones. Each one is produced in response to a specific hypothalamic-releasing hormone.

The text introduces us to specific ways in which the body itself detects a change in the internal environment and how the body responds to the change in order to regulate or maintain a constant balance internally for the well-being of the person.

As I ventured through the human body in her class, I became more and more fascinated with the intricacies of it. The human body is truly marvelous. At one point in the year, Mrs. Branham assigned me a project on the nervous system. Even though the nervous system is complex, I did not find the difficulty of the information a problem because the system’s power captivated me. The fact that a three-pound mass of tissue can control every movement you make through a seemingly simple method astonished me. Through Mrs. Branham’s class, I acquired a passion for growing in my academic knowledge, specifically in

The endocrine system is a group of glands distributed throughout the human body. This group of glands secretes substances called hormones. These hormones are dumping into the bloodstream (Shier, Butler & Lewis, 2009). The endocrine system does not have a single anatomic location. It is dispersed throughout the human body. The final purpose of this process is to control, regulate, and coordinate the functioning of the human body. Some body functions can be activated or inhibited by hormones, which are secreted in very small quantities. The hormone related diseases may be due to hyper secretion, or a hypo secretion. The hormones secreted by the endocrine glands regulate growth, development and function of many tissues, and coordinate the

In a pristine world, the human body is a living symphony of molecules moving with breathtaking precision in and out of process together - in a kind of organic rhapsody.

The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones, which help to regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, reproduction, sleep, and mood — LiveScience.com states. Two examples of endocrine disorders include growth hormone problems and adrenal insufficiency. While both of these problems have a big impact on people's’ lives, growth hormone problems have a bigger impact on teens for several reasons.

All organs must be in Harmony and balance with each other so it is necessary that we

Homeostasis is what allows our internal system to maintain at a constant condition. In order to maintain equilibrium the body must communicate using the control system. It is essential that the body monitors its conditions whether that be blood pressure, thirst sensation or body temperature (this is either gained or lost). Negative feedback is most important and comes first, this allows for the body to correct itself and get back to a set point when it is off track. There are three components that link with this feedback. A sensor (receptor) sends signals to the control center that something is unusual, the control center compares the many values of our normal body range and decides

The universal distribution of synthetic and natural substances with endocrine disrupting properties in the environment and their potential adverse health effects in humans and wildlife has become a concern during the past few decades. As a result of various anthropogenic activities, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are introduced into the ecosystem and dysregulate the endogenous hormone system. EDCs can alter biosynthesis, secretion, transport, binding action or metabolism of endogenous hormones, and interfere with synthesis and metabolism of hormone receptors. The disruption of the endocrine system may result in interference with reproduction, homeostasis, metabolism, developmental processes and behavior (Diamanti-Kandarakis et al., 2009).

The term I would like to introduce today is Homeostasis. This term is used in psychology and means having balanced body or life. A simpler definition to keep things constant, or in a balanced flow. This could be an organ in the body, your mind, or simply the area of your life. It is important for us to know what homeostasis is because, we all need balance in our lives. Psychology today says “Homeostasis is critical to survival. If our bodies do not maintain themselves within certain tolerances (temperature being one example) we cannot function. Growing through creative change is also critical. If we cannot adapt to shifts in our environment (changing food sources being one example) we cannot function either.” (psychologytoday)

The human body can be thought of as a very complex and extraordinary living machine. Just like any machine our bodies are composed of smaller parts that work together.

In every day life what is required, is a balance between our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs; to fully engage in the world, each bodily system necessary to express the many parts of our self. It is said, the entire system must be operating and in balance- in order to achieve full active living and a state of optimal health. In fact, this is one of the requirements of
