Two control systems of the body

Endocrine and Nervous

Endocrine and nervous system similarities

-Work together to maintain homeostasis

-Release ligands (chemical messengers) that bind to cellular receptors on particular target cells

Endocrine and nervous system differences

Endocrine system: -Transmits hormones through blood

-Targets any cell in the body with the correct receptor

-Very widespread

-Exhibits longer reaction times and has longer-lasting effects

Endocrine System

-Composed of ducts and glands that synthesize and secrete hormones

-Hormones are released into the blood and transported throughout the body

Endocrine system regulation growth and development

-Changes measured from birth to puberty

-Hormones help regulate embryonic cell division and differentiation

-Hormones regulate metabolism

How does the endocrine system maintain homeostasis or blood composition and volume

-Hypothalamus

-Hormones regulate blood solute concentrations (ex glucose ions)

-Hormones regulate blood volume, cellular concentration, and platelet numbers

The endocrine system controlling digestive processes

-Trigger digestion when food is in the stomach

-Hormones influence secretory processes and movement of materials in the digestive tract

Endocrine System controlling Reproductive Activities

-Make sure sperm and egg make it to each other

-Hormones affect the development and function of the reproductive system and the expression of sexual behavior

Endocrine Glands

Contain epithelial tissue that makes and releases hormones within a connective tissue framework

Endocrine Organs

-Glands with solely endocrine functions

-Ex: Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal

Endocrine Cells

-Found in clusters in organs with another function

-Examples in Hypothalamus, Thymus, Heart, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Adipose Connective Tissue

-Pancreases is not an endocrine gland, but it does release hormones

Productive, species-rich areas and vegetation growing alongside rivers and streams are known as:

noname [10]

Between rivers or streams, and the dry land are areas covered by lush vegetation called the "riparian zone". These consists of shrubs, grass, and small trees. This area is highly productive due to its close proximity to a water source, as compared to the areas found farther from the rivers. The riparian zone is a terrestrial biome.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

the flu cannot be "Cured" but can oly be surpressed so it in inactive. only the body white blood cells can kill and fully remove the virus.

this is questiponed because it is true that it is limited to only one person, but this person may not of even had the flue to begin with. the the second question is which flue did the person have. swine flu is deadly and cannot be removed with antibodies or antibiotics. which is a pain because this flue kills the body.

the second things that is questioned is, is the antibiotic stable enough for everyone?

everyone has a different immune structured in different ways. some antibiotics will not help certain people because of the lack of lipids and enzymes in the hosts blood. this can be fatal because the body has a natural buffer in the blood that the antibiotic can easily damage and kill the host.

Explanation:

Every human body will react differently.

rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in ____. lamb sunflower oil milk egg yolk fish eggs

mihalych1998 [28]

Fatty acids are mostly composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen. Fatty acids without double bonds are "saturated" with hydrogen. When a fatty acid has one double bond, hydrogen is released therefore the fatty acid is "monounsaturated". When a fatty acid has two or more double bonds, then the fatty acid is "polyunsaturated". Unsaturated fatty acids are usually takes in the form of oils as they are liquid in room temperature (in contrast to saturated fatty acids which are solid in room temperature). Unsaturated fatty acids are usually found in plant based fats such as oils. Therefore the answer to this question is sunflower oil.
