Main parts and their functions :

- Hypothalamus : Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It controls the release of 8 hormones by the pituitary gland, controls body temperature, control of food and water intake, hunger and thirst!

- Pituitary gland : Produces essential hormones for everything living such as the growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, etc.

- Thyroid gland : Produces thyroid hormones that regulate the body metabolism, play an important role in bone growth and development of the brain and nervous system in children!

- Parathyroid glands : Release parathyroid hormone which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism.

- Adrenal glande : Produce hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein and fat, react to stressors, and regular blood pressure.

- Pineal body/gland : Secretes the melatonin hormone which may help regulate the wake-sleep cycle of the body.

- Reproductive glands : Main source of sex hormones for males and females.

- Pancreas : Has digestive and hormonal functions. One part of the pancreas called the exocrine, secures digestive enzymes. While the other part of the pancreas called the endocrine, secretes hormones called insulin and glucagon. Overall, these hormones regulate the level of glucose in the blood.

Hope this helps :)

Based on the scenario below, select the statement that accurately finishes the sentence.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. damaged her peripheral nervous system because the information regarding taste cannot be transmitted back to her brain.

Explanation:

The nervous system is an important system of our body and is directly related to our survival. This system is linked to the coordination of the organism's various activities and is also responsible for allowing the interpretation of the environment around us.

The nervous system is an important system of our body and allows us to have emotions, to remember an important moment in our lives, to interpret smells, tastes and images, to make movements and even to stay alive through the automatic breathing and heartbeat.

Taste, that is, the sense of taste is directly linked to the peripheral nervous system. For this reason, if Stacey has lost her sense of taste, we can conclude that she has damaged her peripheral nervous system because taste information cannot be transmitted back to her brain.

  • A water molecule is removed during a biological process that links the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of a nearby amino acid to generate peptide bonds.
  • The main structure of a protein is thought to be its linear amino acid sequence.
  • A codon is a cluster of three mRNA nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid.
  • Each mRNA produces a protein that has a specific amino acid sequence corresponding to it. The start and stop of translation are indicated by two codons known as start and stop codons.
