<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2> $\Large\textbf{Organ System}$ </h2>

Several organs that collectively perform a single function form an organ system.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2> $\huge\textbf{Levels of Biological Organization}$ </h2>

Cell - The smallest unit of life. Example: Red Blood Cell
Tissue - A group of similar cells that perform a specific function. Example: Muscle Tissue
Organ - A structure within an organism usually composed of several tissue types that form a functional unit. Example: Stomach
Organ System - Two or more organs working together in the execution of a specific bodily function. Example: Respiratory System
Multicellular Organism - An individual living thing. Example: A single H.o.m.o Sapiens(Human Being).
Specie - Very similar, potentially interbreeding organism. Example: All cats, dogs, humans.
Population - Members of one species inhabiting the same area. Example: Population of people living in USA
Community - Two or more populations of different species living and interacting in the same area. Example: Cats and Hooomans living together in the same area or house.
Ecosystem - A community together with its non-living surroundings. Example: Pond Ecosystem
Biosphere - Different Ecosystems altogether makes Biosphere. Example: Planet Earth is biosphere

$\huge\textbf{Examples of Organ System}$

$\Large\textbf{Animal:}$

There are different Organ or Body Systems working together in animals making it most advanced type of living being on the planet.

Body Systems:

The human body is made of different body systems which help it to perform different processes and manage them. Body systems is made of different Body organs. Two of many organ system are listed below

Digestive System:

It is also called Gastrointestinal(GI) System. The GI system starts from mouth and ends at anus. All the organs between and including the mouth and anus comes under GI system.

The GI system intakes food and breaks it down into small and diffusable nutrients and excretes the solid waste products. One of the most important purposes of food is to serve as cellular fuel. Also, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all be used by our cells as sources of the energy that they need to stay alive.

Cardiovascular System

Cardiovascular system provides a transit way for the Products. It includes heart, Veins, Arteries, Capillaries.

It moves blood, hormones, nutrients etc. The main function of the cardiovascular system is therefore to maintain blood flow to all parts of the body, to allow it to survive. Veins deliver used blood from the body back to the heart.

$\Large\textbf{Plants:}$

A plant has two organ systems

The Shoot System - The shoot system is above ground and includes the organs such as leaves, buds, stems, flowers and fruits
The Root System - The root system supports the plants and absorbs water and minerals, is usually underground.

Imagine you are investigating the case of a young man who seems not to respond to stressful situations the same way most people

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The answer of the human body to stress, and stressful situations, including to conditions that may trigger the stress response of the body, is a pretty complex one involving the nervous system as a whole, and the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing two of the most important stress-related hormones. These hormones: glucocorticoids and corticoids (cortisol), will in turn affect all body systems in different manners to produce the necessary effects, to respond to the perceived "threat".

In essence, we have a pathway from our brains, to our adrenal glands, known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In this axis, several genes that are geared towards stress responses activate (CRHR1 and CRHR2, among others) and produce CRH (Corticotropic releasing hormone), which in turn is directly related with stimulating the production of cortisol when there is stress. However, because our bodies are not meant to be in a constant state of alertness and preparation, because the different organs of the body are negatively affected, there are also pathways that will turn off this response and lower the stressful production of cortisol.

In this particular person, although he has been exposed to the same stressor as the others, he does not have precisely the same reactions to it as the others. It is important to note one thing here, and that is, that the stressor offered to these people were videos of stressful situations, and what is known about the stress response is that one vital part of it is visual exposure to different factors, including light, and images. These exposures cause the HPA axis to initiate a response through CRH production. However, it seems that in this young man, although most of the responses are present, not all of them are. So one solution could be that he has a mutation in his genes in his HPA axis, and therefore CRH is not being produced in enought levels to stimulate sufficient levels of cortisol production. However, there are also other genetical reasons why, and these could be many.

The plaque (microbial biofilm) that forms between your teeth is a highly anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment, even though the mo

slavikrds [6]

Answer: The bacteria uses the oxygen present in the mouth.

Explanation:

The plaque that is formed in the teeth is a highly anaerobic bacteria but it can sustain in the environment rich in oxygen. The oxygen is used by the bacteria and there is a absence of oxygen in the teeth.

It is formed in between the teeth which needs oxygen to survive and if remains for tooth for a longer period of time then it began to grow without oxygen.

It basically uses the oxygen available in the mouth and makes the condition anaerobic.
