Then integration happens where the nervous system processes the sensory input and makes decisions of what should be done at each time. After this process the nervous system sends information to the effectors, which are muscles, glands and organs, so that they correctly respond. In the nervous system there is a central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, the whole system is a network of cells and nerves that carry messages to and from the spinal cord and brain to different…

“The immune system is a network of cells and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by 'foreign ' invaders. These invaders are primarily germs--tiny infection- causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi” (9.1 Mind and Immunity). The job of the immunes system is to keep out and destroy these “foreign invaders”. Organs of the immune system are called lymphoid organs that have lymphocytes (small white cells that are produced in bone marrow and fight…

1. Overview Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that is formed in many different types of nervous tissue. In 1864 a German physician named Rudolph Virchow first described this cancer as a abdominal tumor. The cancer cell appears on adrenal glands mostly and can cause pain in abdomen bones. This cancer mostly shows in 10 year olds and younger , reason why has still not been proven , but scientist do say neuroblastoma develops in early age. Neuroblastoma has two stages , 4 and 4s. Stage for is when…

Task One Explain the functions of the following The Temporal Lobe The temporal lobe is placed in the base of the cortex behind the temples. It is one of the four exceeding lobes in the cerebral cortex. The temporal lobe develops sensory information. It controls select listening and the data collected from the ears. Sound and speech is also created here. The temporal lobe conceives significant speech, including sounds and pitches. Long term and visual memories are stored here. The temporal…

strange and rare to see. One of those rare diseases is called Hyperpituitarism. Hyperpituitarism is also known as Gigantism or Acromegaly. It is a rare disease where the pituitary gland is overactive. The glands become overactive when Benign tumors grow on the anterior pituitary. When this happens the pituitary glands secretes an excessive amount of growth hormones (GH). The excessive amount of hormones causes excessive growth of the long bones in the body, and can cause the organs to grow…

start treat the adolescent differently. Lots of hormonal changes occurs during this period. This process is regulated by a feedback loop that is component by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and gonads. The hypothalamus releases LH-RF and FSH-RF factors that stimulates the pituitary gland. Then the pituitary gland releases LH and FSH hormones that stimulates testes in males, and ovaries in females, and these gonads release androgen and estrogen, which are sex hormones. The hormonal levels…

It is estimated that up to 80% of acetylcholine receptors may be destroyed by this disease. It is believed that the thymus gland causes the body to develop immune cells, and causes the production or maintains the production of antibodies that block the acetylcholine receptors. Therefore, causing the immune system to attack its own cells, tissues and specifically the acetylcholine…

Body systems and the bond types of Vitamins and Minerals go hand in hand. The Digestive System breaks down food into vitamins and minerals to be transported to other body systems. The Integumentary System is made up of skin, which uses copper to create Melanin to help protect against the sun. The Integumentary System also uses Vitamins A and C, as well as Niacin and Zinc for healthy growth and repair of skin. The Respiratory System consists of mouth, nose and lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale…

("Cushing support & Research Foundation," 2015). NIH-supported scientists are conducting intensive research into the normal and abnormal function of the major endocrine glands and the many hormones of the endocrine system. Importance lies with the identification of the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), which instructs the pituitary gland to release ACTH, this method is increasingly being used to identify the cause of Cushing's syndrome. Nurses are able to participate in this research by…

inhibits the action of acetylcholine at the prostaglandin sites located in the smooth muscle, secretory glands and the CNS. It is used as an antidote for anticholinesterase poisoning and used to increase heart rate and dilate pupils. It is also used to treat hypermotility in the GI tract for issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. Atropine is also used for mydriasis, and decreased secretions from glands. The recommended dose for adults via IM/IV is 0.4-0.6mg 30-60min pre-op to decrease…
