Endocrine system

called beta-amyloid may damage and destroy brain cells in several ways, including interfering with cell-to-cell communication. Tangles occur because brain cells depend on an internal support and transport system to carry nutrients and other essential materials throughout their long extensions. This system requires the normal structure and functioning of a protein called tau” (Mayo Clinic Staff). Alzheimer’s results in a vast amount of cells, synapses, and neurons lost in the brain, so it affects…

Graves Disease is a condition within the immune system that appears as a result of the thyroid gland producing an overabundance of hormones. Deception occurs within the immune system of our body, eliciting a release of false, abnormal antibodies that are trying to imitate the normal chemical thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, by latching to the thyroid hormone receptor, TSHR, on the epithelial cells of the thyroid gland (Jin, Lawless, Sehgal, & Mchenry, 2012). This latching produces a plethora of…

Its purpose is to pump blood that sends nutrients and oxygen to the body's organs and tissues.…

different processes to return the body back to normal and stable. The body is complex with multiple organ systems, but this essay will explain how the different parts of the nervous system and its relationship with other organ systems maintain homeostasis. The nervous system has three parts that work together, the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), and autonomic nervous system (ANS), which are further divided and each division…

Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome Naturally If you 're living with autoimmune disease, allergies, or chronic pain, these conditions could be your body 's way of telling you that you have leaky gut syndrome. Under ordinary circumstances, your gut has just enough permeability to allow the absorption of vital nutrients. However, certain dietary and environmental factors can greatly increase your intestinal permeability, allowing bacteria, undigested food, microbes, and candida to leak into the rest of…

The immune system is our bodies system that protects us from viruses and other illnesses. Our immune system and central nervous system are linked by the bodies lymphocytes; the white blood cells that fight viruses (Hockenbury, Nolan & Hockenbury 2015). There is a continuous relationship between the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, so if one is affected like by stress, the others will be as…

THE AMAZING CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The circulatory system preforms many different jobs. It carries oxygen to the cells of the body and it 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. Lastly, the circulatory system works with the immune system to help fight infection and defend. The fact that…

Audience Analysis This paper targets students who have ill family member and animal lovers. Since I am exploring about the topic of animal testing that has been very controversial, my primary audience, UMD students, would be able to actively be a part of this topic to come up with their own opinion. Both my primary and secondary audiences must have their own background information and idea of why or why not people should conduct animal testing. To reach my audience, I can publish this online on…

Human beings and animals are very complicated living systems. Studying cell cultures and such, while usually is advantageous, does not supply the convenience to “study interrelated processes occurring in the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system”. (cite) Judging a new drug for future side effects needs a circulatory system to carry the medicine to different organs. And as a matter of fact, conditions such as blindness and high blood pressure cannot be studied in tissue…

The gastrointestinal system is the system that is used to break down food and absorb nutrients that are essential for the bodies’ survival. In the gastrointestinal system, there is a special mechanism for motility and breakdown of nutrients. This system is facilitated by four types of tissue; muscosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa (Sherwood, 2010, p.591-594). The muscosa is innermost layer that serves multiple functions with an epithelial layer for protection and portions for…
