Sensation is a physical feeling or perception resulting from something that happens to and or comes in contact with the body that begins beneath the skin. Sensory receptors are specialized neurons that respond to specific types of stimuli. Sensation occurs when sensory information is found by a sensory receptor. The conversion from sensory stimulus energy to action potential is transduction Every human being has five senses which consist of vision, smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), hearing…

forming the IR isoform A. This contributes to the major functional difference between the two isoforms, such that isoform A has more affinity for IGF-2. (1) Occurrence Insulin receptor occurs in the plasma membrane of a variety of cells in brain (olfactory bulb, hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, neurons, and pituitary lobe), kidney, liver (heapatocytes), heart, lungs (pulmonary alveoli),…

Have you ever thought about the complex process your brain goes through just to eat a slice of pizza? Most people will never know how complex consuming a slice of pizza is. Various parts of the brain are used from just thinking about feeling hungry and ordering the pizza, to after it has been consumed and the digestive process occurs. One must use many parts of their brain to accomplish all of these simple tasks. While I was sitting down, working on my Psychology homework for Professor Bacon,…

hypothalamus and thalamus. Which that maintains functions like controlling everyday functioning, relaying information, motor control. The telencephalon maintains the functions such as the cerebral cortex, amygdala, the hippocampus,basal ganglia,and the olfactory…

DFQ #A. Explain in your own words everything you have learned about pain starting out with a definition. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience caused by intense stimuli. Pain can range from dull, to extremely sharp, and even emotional. Pain can helps us survive by warning our bodies of potential danger, or can be an indicator that something is wrong. Pain is a feeling triggered by the nervous system. Our bodies are covered with millions of pain receptors called nociceptors.…

One of my very favorite places to go in my free time is the beach. A beach is a national geographic nature made landform that is near a body of water. It usually consists of loose particles, which are frequently made out of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles living at a beach are occasionally biological to the origins, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Beaches typically appear around areas along the coast where there is a wave or current activity (Wikipedia,…

The Upper Respiratory Tract The human respiratory system involves complex organization of structural and defense mechanisms for the inhalation and exhalation of gases. The primary function of the respiratory system is to breathe air, provide oxygen to the bloodstream, and expel carbon dioxide. The respiratory system also provides transport of respiratory gases, internal respiration, pulmonary ventilation, and external respiration. There are two zones of the respiratory system, the conducting…

When we look around us we do not even think about it, we check both ways before crossing the street, we admire the sunset early in the morning, or we read a book. But, we never think about how we see things, how does what we see get translated into things that we can understand? It starts in the retina, where the receptor cells are. There are two types of receptor cells, rods and cones, both are only sensitive to visible light. Rods are chiefly responsible for night vision and respond to only…

They have a thick layer of fat under their skin, which is surprisingly black. They have a dense undercoat helping insulate heat. “Each hair shaft is pigment-free and transparent with a hollow core that scatters and reflects visible light, much like what happens with ice and snow”(1). Although their fur appears to be white, it is actually transparent. Insulating heat is key to surviving the artic temperatures. The bears are seen bathing in snow and water after a swim or meal, to maximize their…
