In the hypothalamus, there is a neural circuit known as the melanocortin system, which includes two populations of neuron located in the arcuate nucleus, that express the proopiomelanocortin propeptide (POMC) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) (Roseberry, Stuhrman et al. 2015). POMC propeptide is the precursor to the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α, β, and γ-MSH) (Roseberry, Stuhrman et al. 2015). The melanocortin system plays a significant role in controlling feeding and body weight…

The Respiratory System Organisation of cells in the system Specialised multicellular cells are very important when it comes to the organisation of cells in any type of system. Multicellular organisms are organisms which are made up of many different cells as opposed to unicellular organisms which are single celled. Multicellular organisms undergo functions such as obtaining food, moving, defending and reproducing (example of a multicellular animal); these functions are the response of the…

Introduction The Central Nervous System (CNS) has been considered devoid of lymphatic vasculature, and for years, the theory of the nonexistence of the lymphatic system in the brain has been accepted as a biological/anatomical fact. This very basic fact of neuro-anatomy has recently been upset by two independent studies, revealing that the brain does, in fact, have a functional lymphatic system. Although this study was originally done on mice brains, there have been similar findings in human…

The endocrine system is one of the major systems in the body, it is one of the two systems established for regulating the body to achieve homeostasis. This system plays a role in long distance intercellular communication, coordination, and homeostasis control (Rice University-Open Stax, 2016). It is made up of a collection of glands which produce hormones, regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, in addition to a plethora of other…

In this paper, I decided to do research on the limbic system. The Limbic system is the area of the brain where emotional processing occurs. It was a large interest to me since I always found emotions to be absurd in some way. This research is important because it breaks down the complexity of how emotions work in the brain and why we have emotions. Also, I attempted to use examples to facilitate the information for somebody who was not to scientific to understand the paper. While writing this…

What is the endocrine system and how does it function? Name 6 major endocrine glands and explain their functions. Endocrine is made of glands that create and discharge hormones, letting chemical substance keep actives the cells or organs. 1.Adrenal glands: helps to control the blood sugar. 2.Hypothalamus: Is in control of pituitary hormones by liberating others type of hormones. 3.Ovaries: it found in women and have the fiction to produce estrogen and progesterone.Also, is the responsible of…

Digital Rewards System The digital rewards system is another behavioral modification method used as a reward system to encourage better behaviors. The gist of this reward type is using technological means to monitor behaviors within the classroom (Howlin, 2015). Using technology in order to assess the progress of the students has both benefits and drawbacks. The first benefit is that it is easy to communicate with the parents. With programs such as Class Dojo or on the computer, it makes it…

The respiratory system is the major system of organs that facilitates the process of respiration. This system controls a gas exchange which involves the distribution of oxygen throughout the body and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body as waste. In other words, it plays a crucial role along with the circulatory system during the action of breathing and maintains a constant supply of oxygen into the bloodstream. In turn, the respiratory system provides trillions of cells with energy from…

11.2 The Circulatory System The circulatory system is made up of multiple different organs, and it's main function is transportation. The system allows blood to circulate, which transports oxygen, hormones and nutrients as well as picking up waste. The elements of the system include; The Heart The heart acts as a muscular pump which is divided into 4 different chambers, the heart's main function is to pump the blood around the body. It pumps deoxygenated blood through the veins, to the…

LIMBIC SYSTEM AND TINNITUS Introduction A human body is a very delicate and complicated group of systems and organs that work together. We can say that each part of the body is controlled by and connected to several many organs. Thus, many diseases and disorders in one organ can actually indicate the error in completely different organ or system. That brings us to this, The limbic system and Tinnitus. A person who has tinnitus is a person who is continuously hear noisy and annoying voices and…
