Perception is the way our brain interprets the information we acquire through our senses; sight, smell or touch for example. Being a subjective interpretation this is influenced by several higher cortical functions, such as expectations or motivation that we have, that is, we hope to perceive or because we expect a certain perception. For example, it is not the same to drink a beverage whose flavor we already knew, to drink a new flavor, we tend to perceive better a new flavor and to compare it with schemes that we had previously.

Emotions influence our perception because the mood determines how we will interpret what we are perceiving, for example, if we are angry and suddenly we hear a criticism, we may interpret it differently than if we heard it with another state of mind.

Finally, the context influences the perception by giving a referential frame to what we perceive or influence physiologically, for example, the sensation of drinking water in the desert or on a mountain, we perceive it differently.

Why is it important that your Organ systems work together give an example of them working together

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function in a body. The human body has 11 different organ systems, some of which are the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems. For example, the cardiovascular system consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Not only organs that make up an organ system have to work together, but organ systems as well. Otherwise, our body wouldn't be able to work properly. For example, the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system cooperate to deliver oxygen to cells and expel the carbon dioxide, which is the product of the cells.
