Homeostasis

Melanoma is a cancer that develops in the pigment cells of the skin called melanocytes. It is a type of skin cancer that can be more serious than any other forms because it has the ability to metastasize, which is the development of secondary malignant growths from the primary site of cancer, to other parts of the body and cause serious illness or even death. Melanoma most often occurs when something goes awry in the melanin-producing cells or as already mentioned, melanocytes, which give…

depending on the type of disease in the area in which the child would live or the areas in which the child is likely to travel. The risks and benefits of being immunized provides a barrier a shield to these viruses that to help the body stay in a homeostasis. In many cases as the immunization rates increase and disease infectious rate decreases may be seen differently to different people. The benefits of a many vaccine clearly outweigh the risks to population levels a unimmunized child living in…

existing in the orbital space, humans lived in small civilizations that continually moved from places to places. These past humans lived as hunter gatherers that only took what they needed from the environment around them without upsetting the homeostasis of the ecosystems. The 21st century is one filled with loss of global life stability, poverty and disappearing ecosystems. The existence of past civilizations has proven that these issues could pull modern humans into the same fate as past…

osteoblasts are responsible for breaking down bone and replacing resorbed bone respectively (Seriolo et al., 2013). Natural aging results in less bone formation from osteoblasts causing more bone resorption and therefore negatively impacting skeletal homeostasis (Seriolo et al., 2013). Hormones such as estrogen and parathyroid hormone are some of the most important modulators for bone formation and play a large role in optimal bone maintenance and development (International Osteoporosis…

different types of blood vessels? Which vessels carry blood towards the heart? Which carry blood away from the heart? Where does gas exchange occur? The functions of the cardiovascular system are: pumping blood to body tissues and organs; maintaining homeostasis; and transport gases, waste, and hormones. The different types of blood vessels are: arteries, capillaries, and veins. The vessels that carry blood towards the heart are veins and the vessels that carry blood away from the heart are…

Pathogen infection leads to response induction as well as a change in antioxidant activity, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameter and proteome of the host plant. (Swarbrick et al., 2006).Investigation of plant-pathogen interaction shows pathogens aim to overcome host defense responses while plants employ a battery of responses to limit pathogen growth and disease development. Consequently, plant induces defense mechanism which demands a reallocation of energy towards the…

neurons are referred to as afferent neurons. Their function is to receive initial stimuli from sense organs — eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose — similarly as by impulses generated among the body in response to changes that are necessary to maintain homeostasis. . Interneurons: These styles of neurons are referred to connector neuronsor association neurons. What they do is “read” impulses received from sensory neurons. Interneurons are found within the spinal cord or brain. When an interneuron…

Once there was a clerk, a 7-eleven employee, a quiet, soft spoken, mild mannered man, a non-drinker; no alcoholic, no coffee, or stimulants, absent of drug involvement, a refugee, fired. “God loves you, God bless you,” his familiar greeting, frequently seen as a traveler through Bum Park, at the shelters along Falls Way. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “not well,” he said he was still homeless. Now overcome by the havocs of K2’s, analog of cannabis delta-9-THC, JWH-018. Entangled by…

Insulin is the body’s main way to lower the blood glucose levels when they get to high. When the blood glucose levels get to low the hormone glycogen is produced. They both come from the pancreas but insulin also helps glucose get transported into the cells (Quesada et al., 2008). The body uses glucose as a primary source of energy through a variety of metabolic reactions. Glucose is a sugar that gets broken down through glycolysis into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) inside of the cell (Stanfield,…

All humans are designed with two types of immunity; innate and adaptive. The innate immune system can distinguish between different classes of pathogens and recruit the most effective form of adaptive immune response to eliminate them. Adaptive responses are a response that the body adapts to certain injuries or insults. Innate responses are non-specific to the insult. Unlike innate immune responses, the adaptive responses are highly specific to the particular pathogen that induced them (Alberts…
