A group of students were given the task of comparing the human body functions to a city. The students were stuck on how to fit t

he different
types of roads into the system. Some roads like highways are fast and usually busy while other side roads sometimes have less traffic but you
have to travel slower. One student suggested that the highways should represent the blood stream that hormones are carried in by the
endocrine system since they are fast pathways. She also suggested the side roads should represent the paths neurons release neurotransmitter
molecules on because they would travel slow. Should the group use this student's suggestions to represent the different road types?

Comparing human body functions with a city is described below.

Explanation:

Your body consists of multiple highly organized systems, working in split second harmony, more complex than any airport or city.

1.Let’s take inventory of your body. It is highly organized with multiple systems, all working in harmony, always with split second timing to accomplish so many simultaneous tasks that criss cross each other.We could compare our bodily functions to any complex system like the worldwide mail delivery systems or a metropolis.

2.There are 457 cities in the world with 1,000,000+ population, 1,063 with 500,000+ and 2,869 with 150,000+ according to the World Atlas. Think about the incredible infrastructure to run each of them including Tokyo, the largest, with 37 million people:

3.Transport: Roads, transit systems, railways, canals, bicycles, ferries…

Energy: Electricity network, gas pipelines, petrol distribution, coal, heating…

Water: Drinking, sewage collection, rain drainage, irrigation, flood control, snow removal, coast management…

Communications: Postal service, Telephone, Mobile phone, TV-radio, cable, internet…

Waste disposal: Garbage, recycling, landfills, incinerators, hazardous waste…

4.Government: Legislation and law enforcement, emergency and security services…

Economy: Financial, banking, manufacturing, product delivery…

Social: Health care, hospitals, schools, welfare, unemployment…

Cultural: Museums, libraries, sports, concerts, attractions…

5.Our body is in a very similar situation.

Here’s a list of Body systems:

Skeletal system: Bones, joints…

Muscular system

Endocrine system: Thyroid, hypothalamus… emits hormones, issuing orders…

Cardio vascular system: Heart, arteries, veins…

Lymphatic system: Lymph vessels, tonsils, spleen, waste drainage…

Respiratory system: Lungs, trachea, nose…

Digestive system: Mouth, salivary glands, stomach, intestines, rectum…

Urinary system: Kidneys, bladder…

Reproductive system: male genitalia, female organs…

We can add the ‘governing systems’:

Nervous system: Brain, spinal cord, nerves…

Cognitive system: Mind, whether a part of the brain or not, this works with our emotions and reasoning powers.

6.This is just a ‘list’ of systems. We’ll stop and tour them to grasp some of the intricate details. But first we’ve taken an overall approach.

7.When our bodies function properly, they are the embodiment of peace and prosperity.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages involved with attempting to collect the
Ahat [919]
Attempting to collect the balance due at the time of service can serve for income purposes. It can guarantee that the doctors and the people involved with the procedure can get paid and the costumer will have the chance to access a proceudure. But actualy there are more disadvantages because the medical body can be sued and that they can not get paid if the patient does not feel that the procedure was good. It doesn't cover some expenses and it may not be comfortable neither for the patient nor for the doctors

Intuition requires clear thinking and reasoning through a problem
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is; False.

Further Explanation:

Intuition is not when there is reasoning through a problem someone has or does it require clear thinking. Intuition is when a person has a feeling about something or even an understanding that does not have a specific reason nor needs reasoning.

A decision is when a person will have to have reasoning through a problem that they have. They will have need to think clearly when making the decision as it could impact their future.

Intuition is more of a gut feeling and something that we just have in our thought process. One example of intuition is a mother's intuition, a mother can just know when there is something wrong with their child.
