In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way

4 0

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond.

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

More than 90 percent of the weight of fat in foods and more than 95 percent of the stored fat in the human body are in the form

Darya [45]

More than 90 percent of the weight of fat in foods and more than 95 percent of the stored fat in the human body are in the form of: triglycerides.

<h3>What is triglycerides?</h3>

Among fats, triglycerides are one. They make up the majority of the fat in your body. They originate in food, particularly in the butter, oils, and other fats you consume. Additionally, extra calories provide triglycerides. You consume these calories, which your body does not immediately require. These extra calories are converted by your body into triglycerides and stored as fat. The triglycerides are released when your body requires energy. The triglycerides are transported to your tissues by VLDL cholesterol particles.

Your chance of developing heart conditions like coronary artery disease is increased if your triglyceride levels are high.

It would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis if over several days someone had an inadequate intake of:_______

Liula [17]

If someone had an inadequate intake of sodium over several days, it would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis.

<h3>Why is sodium important for homeostasis? </h3>

Most of the sodium in our body is present in the extracellular fluid (ECF). The concentration of sodium in the body is measured relative to the amount of water in the body.

Maintaining proper sodium concentration is therefore essential for maintaining water balance in the body. It also helps in the proper functioning of neurons by assisting in the conduction of impulses.

Sodium concentration is also important for muscle contraction. Proper sodium concentration maintains osmolality of the extracellular fluid which maintains the volume of blood and plasma in the body.

Therefore, an inadequate intake of sodium, over several days will affect the homeostasis of the body.
