Answer:

Explanation:

Our internal body temperature is regulated by a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus checks our current temperature and compares it with the normal temperature of about 37°C. If our temperature is too low, the hypothalamus makes sure that the body generates and maintains heat

List three contributions of fat to the body

wolverine [178]

Fat provide nutrients and maintains your core body temperature. You need to consume fat every day to support these functions, but some types of fat are better for you than others. Good fats protect your heart and keep your body healthy, while bad fats increase your risk of disease and damage your heart.

A Source of Energy

While carbohydrates are the main source of fuel in your body, your system turns to fat as a backup energy source when carbohydrates are not available.

Vitamin Absorption

Some types of vitamins rely on fat for absorption and storage. Vitamins A, D, E and K, called fat-soluble vitamins, cannot function without adequate daily fat intake. These vitamins are essential parts of your daily diet.

Insulation and Temperature Regulation

Fat cells, stored in adipose tissue, insulate your body and help sustain a normal core body temperature.

Choosing Good vs. Bad Fats

Opt for good monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, or MUFAs and PUFAs, whenever possible. These heart-healthy fats stabilize cholesterol levels and lower your overall risk of cardiovascular disease when you consume them in place of bad fats. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats come from vegetable oils, nuts, avocados and cold-water fish, such as salmon and tuna. Bad fats, or saturated and trans fats, raise low-density lipoprotein, also called LDL, cholesterol. Elevated low-density lipoprotein hardens arteries and raises blood pressure. Over time, you may be more at risk of heart attack and stroke. You need increased levels of high-density lipoprotein to rid your body of excess low-density lipoprotein. Trans fats are especially harmful because they lower your high-density lipoprotein, also called HDL cholesterol, reports "The New York Times." Saturated and trans fats are naturally occurring in meat, seafood and dairy, but processed junk foods also contain these damaging fats.

Which part of a neuron would probably be most affected by the application of novocain?

fgiga [73]

Explanation:

The neuronal membrane.

Neurons have unique structures which aid in facilitating communication by sending and receiving electrical signals very efficient. Parts of a neuron are separated into the

dendrites which receive messages from other neurons allowing them to pass and some of the cell body which contains typical cell components like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.
The axon is an insulated (by the myelin sheath) tubular structure which acts as a bridge to price impulses to other neurons these also contain axon hillocks which are junctions between the axon and cell body
Synapses are junctions where axons connect to dendrites of other neurons at these junctions chemical reactions occur in order to facilitate the passage of information as chemical signals.
There are several neuron types which include sensory motor and into neurons which bridge the two.

The refractory period describes a period between the initiation of an action potential where Na+ channels are closed, and immediately after the action potential’s peak. Action potentials would require an influx of more positively charged ions; these must be more than a specific threshold in order to have the cells send along more action potentials which helps with figuring out stimulus intensity.

Potassium ions readily diffuse out of the cell more quickly than sodium due to the presence of more channels which allow for potassium leakage. The sodium pumps in neuronal membranes bring more Na+ than K+ ions into the cell; with every three sodium ions pumped out two potassium ions are brought in- this is in order to maintain the negatively charged membranes within the cell along with the resting potential

At synaptic junctions:

The action potential travels along the membrane until the synapse where it’s electrical depolarization leads to the opening of channels allowing only sodium ions to enter
these flow through a presynaptic membrane until the concentration is built up, activating ion sensitive proteins attached to vesicles containing neurotransmitters
this leads to changes in the proteins leading to the fusion with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, so vesicles are open and neurotransmitter is released. The neurotransmitter diffuses across to chemical receptors on the presynaptic cell where they bind temporarily
This leads to activation of specific complexes, enabling the transmission of information. Thus, the chemical signal is transferred through this neuron as an electrical impulse

Novocaine, an ester, is a compound that inhibits sodium channel ion exchange leading to membrane depolarization (charges equilibrium). It stabilizes the neronal membrane preventing transmission of nerve impulses as a local anesthetic to pain centers in the CNS.
