Substance Dualism is Rene Descartes way of explaining the…

also caries nutrients throughout the body to make heat and energy. In addition to that, the vascular system delivers hormones to specific organs. Another thing the circulatory system does is collect metabolic waste and deliver it to the excretory glands.

The fact that such a complex system exists helps disprove the evolutionary beliefs of random acts of chance, and helps prove the existence of a…

These components alternate the amounts of calcium in the plasma allowing remodeling and growth of the bone. Parathyroid hormones (PTH) are released from the main cells of the parathyroid gland when calcium levels are too low. The PTH also affects osteoblast cells that are contained in the bone. However, binding of PTH to osteoblast inhibiting it resulting in osteoclast cells being indirectly stimulated through the inhibition of bone building…
